Although not true cranberries, highbush cranberries also have tart red fruits that can be used in cooking. This is a lovely spread with mouthwatering tangy flavor.-Evelyn Gebhardt, Kasilof, Alaska

I've made this jam several times and it always turns out great. It's a bit tart, but I like that. I usually add a little bit of sugar to taste. It's also very versatile. I've used it on toast, muffins, and even ice cream.

This jam is delicious! I made it with fresh cranberries and it turned out perfect. It's tart and sweet, and the texture is perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
