This is the perfect accompaniment for a baked brie. Or for any other purpose you might want some jam for, such as a PBJ.

Add first 4 ingredients to a saucepan. Bring to a boil then turn down to medium. Simmer till the cranberries pop. Add optional extras if desired.

Note on texture – if you like, you can serve the jam as-is, which gives a nice chunky texture. I like to zap it a few times with a stick blender to make a mix of smooth and chunky. You can take it further and blend it smooth. However you prefer the texture you won’t be disappointed with pairing it with a nice baked brie!
