Festive Campari Jam

This gorgeous orange and cranberry jam spiked with Campari would make a lovely holiday gift or a welcome addition to the breakfast table this winter.

Yield 3 cups
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total time 30 minutes
  • 3 ½ ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
  • ⅓ vanilla pod, cut in half and seeds scraped out
  • 2 star anise
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 ½ cups freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 8 ounces sugar
  • ¼ cup Campari

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a large unreactive pot with lots of extra room, set over high heat until boiling and then lower heat to keep at a simmer.
  2. Let the jam simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don’t leave unattended as it might boil over.
  3. Remove pot off the heat and carefully take out the star anise, vanilla pod, and cinnamon stick.
  4. Carefully pour the jam into clean, sterilized jars and seal. If you’re gifting these later, process for 10 minutes in a water bath, otherwise you can store the jam in the fridge for up to a month.
