About Recipe

This spicy-tart cranberry jam was inspired by a project I used to work on every winter when I was a little girl, when I was bored and my parents weren’t around. (I spent a lot of time alone as a kid.) My friend Annette and I would sit down and make little packets of whole spices and dried orange peel, which we would tuck into tiny sachets of cheesecloth and tie with a bow. Or we’d take oranges, stick them all over with whole cloves to make pomander, then roll the finished balls of spicy goodness in a bowl of ground spices.
