Cranberry jam with orange - recipe with photo
It will take 20 minutes to prepare jam, from the listed products you will get 350 g.
Ingredients:
- cranberries - 200 g;
- orange - 200 g;
- sugar - 200 g.
Peel the orange, cut into slices, cut into cubes. Add cranberries to orange cubes. Cranberries can be either fresh or frozen, there is no fundamental difference, and this does not affect the quality of jam. 
Mix cranberries and orange with sugar. We take a saucepan with a thick, wide bottom and a tight-fitting lid. We place the saucepan with oranges and cranberries on the fire, tightly close. After a few minutes, the berries will give juice, the sugar will begin to melt and the contents will slowly boil. It is not necessary to reduce the fire, it is also undesirable to open the lid. Since cranberries “explode” when heated and splash you with bright and hot sprays. 
We cook jam for about 12-15 minutes, this is quite enough for tender berries and oranges without peel. 
Grind the finished berries in a mixer or with an immersion blender to a puree state. You can strain the cranberry jam with orange through a sieve to get rid of the seeds and pieces of the skin, but I do not recommend doing this. Straining the berries, you throw valuable dietary fiber into the trash, which is very useful and necessary for our body. 
We put the finished jam in clean and dry jars. 
If you want to save cranberry jam for the winter, then the jars must first be washed and dried in the oven, then filled with hot jam, and put on a towel in a pot of water (temperature 85 degrees Celsius). Small jars are enough to sterilize for 5-7 minutes. Store the finished cranberry-orange jam in a dark and cool place, it taste qualities do not change within 5-6 months.

For harvesting, select sweet apples. If you have sour Antonovka, then you should not add lemon juice so that the jam does not turn out too sour.
- Wash apples, peel and cut into thin slices. Then pour a little water into a wide saucepan, put apples in it.
- Wash the oranges thoroughly and remove a thin layer of zest from them. Then divide into slices, remove all possible veins, films and layers that can give bitterness. Cut the remaining pulp into small pieces and add to the saucepan with the apples.
- Sort the cranberries, removing spoiled and dried berries, rinse in running water and add to the rest of the fruit.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid, put on the stove, turn on the heat and bring the fruit mixture to a boil. Simmer over low heat until the oranges and apples are soft (about 25 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, wait for the contents to cool slightly, and grind with a blender until a smooth puree consistency.
- Strain the resulting puree through a sieve to eliminate many small particles, berry skins and orange fibers. The puree obtained after straining will have a bright, almost transparent appearance and a uniform consistency.
- Weigh the resulting fruit puree and add sugar in a ratio of 1: 1 plus another 200-300 g per kilogram of puree. Remove a thin layer of zest from a washed lemon, and then squeeze the juice from half a lemon into a fruit puree.
- Cut the orange and lemon zest into thin strips and also add to the rest of the ingredients. Put the saucepan on the fire, bring to a boil and boil the jam for about 25-30 minutes. Don't forget to stir so it doesn't burn.

Bon Appetit!
Thick jam from apples with citrus fruits can be prepared in late autumn, when cranberries ripen, and there are so many apples that it is already difficult to place their crop in your bins. Jam from apples without additives looks, in my opinion, not very presentable, and its aroma is weak. Cranberries will give the marmalade a scarlet color, and lemon and orange will add a pleasant smell. Such jam will be a good layer for a birthday cake and delicious stuffing for yeast pie. It is stored at room temperature for several months without changing its qualities.

How to make jam from apples with cranberries and citrus fruits
I made this jam from sweet apples, but if you cook it from Antonovka, then nothing bad will happen. Just do not add lemon juice so that the jam does not turn out sour.
Jam from apples can be cooked quite quickly, you need to spend a little time on the preliminary preparation of fruits. If you steam unpeeled apples for puree, then it takes quite a long time, so it's better to prepare the fruit in a different way. Peel the apples, then cut into thin slices. Pour some water into a wide saucepan, add apple slices there.
Removing a thin layer orange peel with carefully washed fruits. Then we disassemble the oranges into segments, as much as possible, remove the white veins, cut the segments into small pieces, add to the saucepan to the apples.
We carefully sort out the cranberries, getting rid of spoiled and dried berries. We wash the cranberries with running water, add to the rest of the fruit.
Close the saucepan with a lid, bring the fruit platter to a boil. Simmer over low heat until the apples and oranges are completely soft. It usually takes me about 20-25 minutes to do this. Grind the finished fruit mass with a blender or in food processor until a smooth puree.
We filter the puree through a sieve to weed out small particles of cranberry peel and orange fibers. The finished puree is homogeneous, bright and almost transparent.
Weigh fruit puree, add sugar. From the amount of fruit indicated in the recipe, I got about 1 kg of fruit puree. To obtain thick jam, add sugar in a proportion of 1/1 (plus another 200-300 g per 1 kg).
Remove a thin layer of zest from the lemon, cut the orange and lemon zest into thin strips, add to the rest of the ingredients. Then squeeze in the juice from half a lemon.
We put the saucepan on the fire again and boil the jam for about 25-30 minutes, removing the foam. Jam needs to be stirred, as a thick mass can burn. We shift the hot jam into clean, dry jars. You can store it at room temperature.
If you cover the jars with jam with a piece of parchment and tie it with twine, then during storage the moisture will evaporate, and the jam will thicken and become like marmalade.
