These adorable and festive Sugar Cookie Jamwiches are a fun and delicious treat for the holidays. The sugar cookie dough is cut into festive shapes and filled with jam for a burst of sweetness. Sprinkle with colored sugar for a festive touch.
Ingredients
For the jam:
4 cups fresh cranberries
2 cups fresh raspberries
2 cups fresh blackberries
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
For the canning process:
6-7 sterilized jam jars
6-7 sterilized jar lids and bands
Large pot for boiling water
Canning tongs
Funnel
Wet cloth for wiping jar rims
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the fruit
Start by washing and drying all the berries. Remove any stems or leaves from the cranberries. Then, in a large pot, combine all the berries, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Step 2: Cook the jam
Place the pot on medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The jam is ready when it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 3: Prepare for canning
While the jam is cooking, prepare for the canning process. Place the sterilized jars on a clean towel. Using a funnel, carefully ladle the hot jam into each jar, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a wet cloth to remove any spills or residue.
Step 4: Seal the jars
Place the sterilized lids on top of each jar and secure them with the bands. Make sure not to over-tighten the bands, as air needs to escape during the canning process. Place the jars in a large pot filled with boiling water, making sure the water covers the jars by about 1 inch.
Step 5: Process the jars
Let the jars boil for about 10-12 minutes, then use the canning tongs to carefully remove them from the water. Place the jars on a towel and let them cool completely. You will hear a "pop" sound as the jars seal, ensuring their freshness.
Step 6: Label and gift
Once the jars have cooled, remove the bands and test the seal by pressing down on the center of the lid. If it does not move, the jar is properly sealed. Label the jars with the name of the jam and the date. Now, your Christmas jam is ready to be gifted or enjoyed with your loved ones.
In conclusion, this canning recipe is a simple and delicious way to spread some holiday cheer. With a few ingredients and some easy steps, you can create a homemade treat that will be cherished by all. So gather your ingredients and get canning, because nothing says Christmas like a jar of homemade jam.
