Highbush Cranberry and Apple Jam for Winter
There's nothing like sinking a big spoon into this one — it's so good! Now that the cold weather is here, we reach for the preserves we put up over the summer. I'm sure you've stocked your share of jam, especially the vitamin-C kind. But highbush cranberry jam is probably still new to a lot of people. And it's a shame, because the berry is wonderfully good for you. So I went looking for a recipe — and found one. We'll make a jam from highbush cranberries with apples added in. Problem solved: a delicious apple-and-cranberry jam that's both tasty and a real treasure-trove of vitamins!

- Wash and peel the apples. You won't need the skins, so discard them along with the cores. Cut the peeled apples into very fine pieces. Now for the highbush cranberries: you'll want to extract the juice. Do it whichever way is easiest for you — purée them in a blender and strain through cheesecloth, or run them through a juicer. Sprinkle the apple pieces with sugar and set them to cook. When the jam is about halfway done, pour in the cranberry juice. Cook another 10 minutes or so, then ladle the mixture into jars. Seal them hot with sterilized lids. This jam keeps well right on a kitchen shelf or in the pantry — it doesn't need to be refrigerated.
