Jalapeno-Cranberry Jam

Sterilize 4 pint jars and lids or 8 half pints and keep them hot. Measure 2 1/2 cups of jalapeno jelly into a large heavy pot. Add 3 cups of water and cook and stir over medium high heat until the jelly melts and the mixture comes to a boil. Add 2 quarts of washed and stemmed cranberries. When the mixture boils again, reduce heat to medium and boil gently until the cranberry skins crack. Using a slotted spoon, dip cranberries into the hot jars. Continue to boil the syrup until it thickens. Pour over the berries, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace in each jar. Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.

Makes 4 about pints.
