📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare your canning jars: Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Sterilize them by placing them in a pot of boiling water for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes. Keep them hot until ready to use.
2
In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries with water and cook over medium-high heat until they're soft and popping, or for about ⏱️ 10 minutes.

Add the sugar, cinnamon stick, orange juice, and orange zest and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

4
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the mixture sets, usually about ⏱️ 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat. You can test for set using a plate that's been chilled in the freezer or with an instant-read thermometer. The target temperature here is 220 F. (Or if you're an experienced jam maker, you can go by eye. The bubbles change to a smooth, glossy appearance when the mixture is ready to set.)
5
Remove the pan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick. Skim off any foam, if necessary.

6
Carefully ladle the hot cranberry sauce into the prepared hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Remove any air bubbles.
7
Wipe the rims of the jars with a dampened clean paper towel to ensure a nice, clean seal.
8
Place the lids on top of the jars and screw on the bands finger-tight.
9
Process the jars in a boiling water canner for ⏱️ 15 minutes.
10
Carefully remove the jars from the canner using tongs or a jar lifter. Place them on a heat proof surface and let them cool, undisturbed, for at least ⏱️ 24 hours.
11
Check the seals by pressing on the center of the lids.
12
Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
