Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 pkg (40oz) frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed or 2 1/2 qts of strawberries, hulled ( I use fresh)
1 lb fresh frozen cranberries(I also use these fresh. It comes to one and half small bags)
5 cups sugar
2 pouches liquid fruit pectin
Directions:
Directions:
Grind strawberries and cranberries in a food processor or grinder. Place in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot. Add sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil for one minute. Remove from the heat and add both packages of fruit pectin. Stir and return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
Cool for 5 minutes; skim off foam. Carefully ladle into clean hot half pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles; wipe rims with a clean damp cloth and adjust lids. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.
Note: I tried this with frozen strawberries and it didn’t set, so I always use fresh fruit now. If you’re new to jam making, I suggest using a recipe that comes in the fruit pectin. It gives step by step instructions. Also, 5 cups seems like a lot of sugar. I wouldn’t use less, it might not set.
