3 1/2 c. cranberries
2 c. water
1 (1 lb. 4 oz.) can crushed pineapple, undrained
8 c. sugar

Add pineapple with syrup and sugar and boil 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and add pectin. Mix well and let stand for 25 minutes. Pour into jelly jars and seal.
Cranberry Jam 3
Ingredients:

12 ounces of cranberries (1 bag)
1 1/4 cups sugar
Zest of 1 orange
1 cinnamon stick
3/4 cup water
Cooking Instructions:
Run the cranberries through a food processor until they are finely shredded. If you like a chunky jam, leave them whole or process them less. Put the cranberries and the rest of the ingredients in a 2-quart pan. Let them sit for about 10 minutes, then bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.Turn the heat to low and let the jam simmer for about 25 minutes, or until it hits a temperature of 220ºF. Remove from the heat and let cool, then put in the refrigerator.
Cranberry Jam 4
Ingredients:

2 lbs fully ripe cranberries (7-1/2 cups prepared fruit)
4 cups water
5 1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl
1/2 teaspoon butter, optional or margarine, optional
1 (3& ounce) envelope certo fruit pectin
Cooking Instructions:
Bring boiling-water canner, half-full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot, soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling. Place cranberries and water in large saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Press through a sieve, if desired. Measure exactly 7-1/2 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-quart saucepot. Stir sugar into prepared fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming, if desired. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantlly. Stir in pectin quickly. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off any foam with metal spoon. Ladle quickly into prepared jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches; add boiling water if needed. Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lid with finger. If lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.
 
Cranberry Jam 5
Ingredients:

2 Cups fresh cranberries
1/2 Cup finely chopped red onion
1 1/2 Cups apple cider
1/4 Cup balsamic vinegar
3 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 Teaspoon ground cardamom
1 pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions:
Place the cranberries, cider and chopped onion in a pan, and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Simmer until the berries are soft. This should be 5 to 10 minutes. Mash the mixture well, or transfer to a blender if you prefer a smooth pulp. Return to the pan, and add the vinegar, orange juice, spices, salt and honey. Bring back to the boil and leave for about 25 minutes, until thick and ready to set. Remove any scum, and pour into hot, sterilized jars. Seal and store somewhere cool. This jam can sometimes go off after about a month, so make in small quantities at first until you know its life expectancy.
Cranberry Jam 6
Ingredients:

2 12 oz. bags of fresh or unthawed frozen cranberries, rinsed and picked over
3 cups sugar
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup water
1 case (12) of 4-oz jelly jars
Cooking Instructions:
In a pot large enough to hold a rack and jelly jars covered with an inch of water, boil the jars, the lids, and the rings to sterilize. Boil for about 5 minutes and leave in hot water until you're ready to fill them. If the pot can only hold a few jars, no problem; just sterilize and process the jars in batches. Combine ingredients in a large, heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 20 minutes (jam will continue to thicken as it cools). Pulse jam in food processor or blender. Jam should be pureed, but still a bit rough. Remove a jar from the hot water with tongs. Fill with jam, wipe the edge if you've dribbled any, place the lid on top, and hand-tighten the ring. Just tighten it until snug--it doesn't need to be closed with the death grip. As you fill and close each jar, place it back in the pot of water. When you've replaced all the jars, bring the water to a boil again (replacing evaporated water if necessary to cover jars with 1 inch of water. Boil rapidly for 5 minutes. Remove processed jars to a rack and cool 12- 24 hours. As jars cool, they'll create a vacuum (you'll notice the lids sucking down onto the jars as they cool). If the lids still pop when you press on them after 24 hours, they haven't sealed properly. The jam is still fine to eat, but you'll need to refrigerate it. Sealed jam can be kept on the shelf until opened. Refrigerate after opening.
Cranberry Jam 7
Ingredients:

1 (12-oz) bag fresh or frozen cranberries (not thawed; 3 1/2 cups)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup water
Cooking Instructions:
Bring all ingredients to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes (jam will continue to thicken as it cools). Force jam through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding skins and seeds. Cool, stirring occasionally.
Lingonberry or Cranberry Jam
Ingredients:

1 lb. 2 ounces (500 g) frozen or fresh lingonberries or cranberries
A scant cup (7 oz/200 g) of caster (superfine) sugar
Finely grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
1 small apple, peeled and cored
Cooking Instructions:
Rinse the berries, if necessary, then drain well and put them in a non-metallic bowl with the sugar and lemon juice. Leave overnight, turning once or twice. Coarsely grate the apple and put it into a jam-making pan or other heavy based saucepan with the grated lemon rind. Strain in all the juice from the berries (hs note: I didn't end up with a ton of juice, but scraped all the thick, sugary juice in) and add two wooden spoonfuls of berries, leaving the rest of the berries in the bowl for now. Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) water and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the apple is very soft and the whole lot has thickened (hs note: I ended up ~10 minutes). Add the rest of the berries and heat through for 5-8 minutes. Pour into sterilized jars. Seal tightly and turn upside down. Cover with a cloth and leave to cool completely before turning upright and storing in a cool place. The jam will keep for a couple months but, once open, keep it in the fridge and use fairly quickly.
