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.

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