Spicy (or not) Pomegranate Cranberry Jam

This Pomegranate Cranberry Jam is a great way to preserve the taste of fall for months to come or to make a sweet homemade gift for family and friends.

This jam is so easy, basically cranberry sauce made with pomegranate juice and then pureed.

I tossed in half of a jalapeno for a little zip, but it is optional. You could add some herbs like rosemary or basil instead, or just go with the cranberry and pomegranate.

I made some printable labels you are welcome to use for gift giving.
