Directions:Wash jars, lids, and bands. Place jars in canner, fill canner 2/3 full with water, bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and keep jars in hot canner water until ready to use. Place lids in water in a small sauce pan; cover and heat to a low boil. Turn off heat and keep lids in hot water until ready to use.
Rinse cranberries and combine cranberries and orange sections in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
Add strawberries, orange zest, cloves, and cinnamon. Process until finely chopped, but not pureed.
Put processed fruit mixture into sauce pan.
Cook mixture for 2 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly.
Add calcium water, and mix well.
Measure 1 cup sugar into a bowl. Thoroughly mix pectin powder into sugar. Set aside.
Bring fruit mixture to a full boil. Add pectin-sugar mixture, stirring vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the pectin.
Add remaining 1 cup sugar once pectin is dissolved. Stir well and return to a boil. Once the jam returns to a full boil, remove it from the heat. Skim off any foam.
Fill hot jars to ¼” of top. Wipe rims clean. Screw on 2-piece lids. Put filled jars in boiling water to cover. Boil 10 minutes (add 1 minute more for every 1,000 ft. above sea level). Remove from water. Let jars cool. Check seals; lids should be sucked down. |
