Amish Slow-Cooker Christmas Jam Recipe (Not Just for the Holidays Anymore) Amish Recipes Sauces/Condiments Brunch Breakfast Fruit Gluten-free Low Sodium Recipes

I whipped up this slow-cooker Amish Christmas jam the other night to have on hand for the holidays – and it will now be a delicious staple in our fridge! It is so easy and you can use it like cranberry sauce or like traditional jams on toast, biscuits, cheese trays or even on ice cream. I'm planning on freezing cranberries so that I can make this festive holiday fruit jam any time of the year!

To make this Amish cranberry strawberry jam you will need to gather the following ingredients: fresh cranberries, fresh strawberries, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, ground ginger and brown sugar. The ingredients cook in a slow cooker before being pulsed in a blender. The result is a sweet and tart gluten-free spread to serve at breakfast, brunch or even as a topping for desserts. This easy jam would also make a great low-sodium holiday food gift for friends and family.
