Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Fruit
Rinse all berries.
Hull and chop strawberries.
Remove stems from currants (if using).
Drain excess water from rinsed cranberries.
2. Cook the Fruit
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine all fruit + orange juice.
Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop and fruit softens.
3. Add Sugar & Spices
Stir in sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a low simmer.
Cook uncovered for 30–45 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
