Quick Clementine Cranberry Sauce
Meet your new favorite spread — Clementine Cranberry Jam! Sweet clementines and tart cranberries come together to make this bright, zingy jam that'll have you forgetting all about those store-bought versions. The best part? It's ready in under 30 minutes, which means you're just a Netflix episode away from slathering this on everything from morning toast to roasted meats.
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries thawed if frozen
- 1 1/2 cups clementine juice
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Dump the cranberries, maple syrup, clementine juice, and lime juice into a 2-quart saucepan. Place the pan over a medium-high flame and bring it to a boil.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, drop the heat to a low to medium-low setting and allow it to simmer. Stir the sauce regularly, using the back of the spoon to help gently break up the cranberries. As the berries break up and the sauce cooks down, the ruby red color will become more uniform and the mixture will noticeably thicken. It should take about 20 minutes.
- Once the jam is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and a line drawn in the pan takes a moment to refill, you'll know it's done. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool about 10 - 15 minutes.
- While the jam is still warm, but not hot, pour it into a lidded storage container. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 - 45 additional minutes to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours prior to serving.
