So Easy Cranberry Jam Spread
"Anyone can make this, it's so simple! Give this away as gifts for the holidays. The jam will keep up to 5 days covered tightly in the refrigerator. 1 cup sugar will produce a more tart jam, increase the sugar slighty for a sweeter taste."

Made this pretty much as directed, although I cut back on the water & then couldn't bring myself to strain out the skins & seeds, so left them in! Still, THIS IS A VERY TASTY SPREAD & a definite keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Cookathon for Kittencal]
