Thanks Carol. This looks yummy. I've made the other Christmas jam recipe you posted before & it was amazing.

[@MaribethAlexander]

Looks good! I’m pretty sure I’ll be canning this jam.

This sounds so delicious, especially with the Carol twist (Grand Mariner)! Do you like this recipe for Christmas jam or your other Christmas jam with the raspberries recipe best? Also I love your fall shirt ! So cute! 😊

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Hi! Personally I prefer the one with raspberries better. This one reminds me more of a thick whole cranberry sauce. It has a lot of texture. However, the cranberry flavor really comes through so if you are a cranberry lover you might like this one 😊

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Thank you for the sweet compliment 💕

[@judypierce7028]

This recipe looks so good. Can you use canned pears instead of fresh ones?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

@@judypierce7028 no they wouldn’t hold up to the cooking process

[@margolucas3793]

Looks awesome! I am definitely making this. I have pressure canned, but never steam canned. Why only a quarter inch headspace for steam canning?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Headspace doesn’t have anything to do with pressure canning vs steam canning. A quarter inch headspace is what is required to jams and jellies 😊

@ Thank you!

This looks amazing and I love all of your jam recipes. This sounds yummy. Also, Carol may I ask you where you bought your blouse? It is gorgeous!!

@@ttschrock7126 thank you! It’s from Maurice’s 😊

How sweet does this jam turn out? If sugar is reduced, do you think it would still set without pectin? Could add Ball low sugar or Pomomo's.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

It’s perfectly sweet.

[@tomspoerl3696]

I stopped at Sam's yesterday. They had great looking pears and lots of cranberries. Of course I stocked up to make this jam. Thank you for the recipe

[@johnandsheilaalderson]

Hi Carol, May I get your opinion on canning breads (like banana) in the oven?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

It’s a no! First of all, the jar manufacturers state the jars are not designed for that purpose. Baking is dry heat, canning involves water. Secondly most of the ingredients in baked goods are not safe for canning extension.unh.edu/blog/2021/11/cakes-breads-baked-canning-jars-not-safe

[@donihallabrin8465]

May I use frozen whole cranberries?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes

[@dianajeffreys4723]

Can you use ground ginger instead of fresh?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes

[@CHICHISWEETS]

Looks yummy! Can I run an immersion blender through it to get rid of those whole cranberries? 🫙

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes

[@jacquelineanderson8722]

Can I substitute pears for apples?
