Directions:

1. Prepare boiling hot water bath, lids, and canning jars. Select and sterilize whatever size jars you prefer.

2. Combine apples, cranberries, sugar, and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for ten to twelve minutes. Stir frequently to avoid scorching and slowly break apart apples.

3. When berries open and apples are just soft, add lemon juice and cinnamon and continue cooking for seven to eight more minutes until jam thickens.

4. Cooking time depends on the type of apple (pectin in apples and cranberries may vary). Jam is ready when some just remains on a wooden spoon pulled straight up out of the pot.

5. Ladle mixture into hot jars and process in hot water bath for 10 minutes.
