Strawberry Jam

4 c. very ripe strawberries, sliced
1 c. frozen, unsweetened cranberries
1 1/4 c. honey
juice of 1/2 lemon

Heat strawberries, cranberries, and honey in sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 mins.  Then, stir and crush cranberries against the side of the pot with the back of a spoon. (This releases their natural pectin.) Raise the temperature and boil for 10 more mins., stirring occasionally.  When slightly thickened, turn off heat. Squeeze lemon juice over the top of the warm jam, then let it cool to room temperature. Store in refrigerator or freeze.

A delicious and EASY jam!
