Canning Cranberry Jam - Triple Sec is the key!

Here is another recipe for Cranberries with a twist of Triple Sec - Drunken Cranberry Jam. I made this one last year just before Thanksgiving and it is also now gone from the pantry. The orange flavor of the Triple Sec was a great combination with the Cranberries to form a tart but sweet jam. 

Drunken Cranberry Jam
2 1/2 cups fresh Cranberries

1 cup sugar

½ cup orange juice

1 cup water
1 T  each fresh squeezed lemon & fresh squeezed lime
4 T. Triple Sec (orange liqueur)

Combine all ingredients except the Triple Sec into a Dutch oven and cook down until the cranberries pop and the mixture thickens. Using either an emersion blender or a masher continue to crush the rest of the cranberries till the consistency is smooth. Scrap off foam as it boils for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the Triple Sec. Fill sterilized jars leaving 1/4" headspace. Remove air bubbles and refill to proper headspace if necessary. Wipe rims and add hot lids/rings and process in water bath for 10 minutes.
