Cranberry-Champagne Jam With Ginger
- 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries (about 3 cups)
- 2 cups Champagne or other sparkling wine
- 1 (1 3/4 ounce) package regular powdered fruit pectin
- 1/4 teaspoon butter
- 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped crystallized ginger
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
- Pulse the cranberries in a food processor until they are coarsely chopped. Transfer them to a large, heavy-bottomed pot and add the Champagne. Bring them to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the cranberries have softened, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the pectin over the cranberry mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the butter. Return the mixture to a boil. Add the dried cranberries, the crystallized ginger, and then the sugar all at once.
- Return the mixture to a boil and boil hard for 1 minute.
- Remove the pot from the heat and skim any foam from the surface of the jam. Ladle the hot jam into 6 hot, clean half-pint jars. To preserve the jam, process the jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. The preserved jam will keep for up to a year on the shelf. Otherwise, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
