- Rinse the cranberries and remove any stalks. In a large preserving pan, combine the cranberries with the water and cook gently over a low heat for 90 minutes.
- Add the sugar and bring the jam to the boil. Begin testing for the setting point by dropping a small amount of jam onto a cold plate. If you push it with your finger and it wrinkles, it is ready.
- Transfer to sterilised jars and cover immediately. Leave undisturbed in a cool, dark place for 24 hours.
