Cranberry Jam

I made this last year and it turned out great. I gave it away to friends and neighbors as a little Thanksgiving treat.

1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Cranberry Juice or fresh (I used fresh)
1 12 oz. Pkg. of Frozen Cranberries
1 and 1/2 Tea. Ground Cardamon
1 Star Anise
1 Pinch Kosher Salt

Place all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over a high heat stirring constantly bringing it to a boil. Continue to stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Reduce heat to a simmer until the cranberries burst stirring occasionally for about ten minutes. Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool.
Pour mixture into a covered container and refrigerate for twenty-four hours.
This will yield three cups and can be easily doubled or tripled.

Enjoy!
