Ingredients
6ouncescranberries, fresh or frozen
6Tablespoonsbrown sugar
2Tablespoonbourbon
4inch sprig fresh rosemary, left whole
1pinchsea salt
Instructions
Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the berries, brown sugar, bourbon, and salt and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer before reducing the heat to low. Using the back of a large spoon or a potato masher, gently crush the fruit to break the skins and release the juice. Add the sprig of rosemary to the pan and continue to simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened to your liking.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt or sugar to suit your preference.
This savory jam can be stored in a Mason jar in the refrigerator for several weeks. It is delicious spread on bread for a leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwich. It is equally delicious served at room temperature with our Boursin Cheese, Sourdough Crackers, and your favorite snacks and nibbles.
