TANGERINE-CRANBERRY JAM

CRANBERRY TANGERINE CONSERVE

Steps:

• Remove a 4-by 1-inch strip of zest from 1 tangerine with a sharp vegetable peeler (preferably Y-shaped), then scrape off any white pith from strip. Squeeze 1/3 cup juice from tangerines.
• Bring juice, zest strip, and remaining ingredients to a boil in a heavy medium saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then simmer, uncovered, until berries have burst, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. Discard zest before serving if desired.

Remove 1 cup mixture for glaze; reserve remaining mixture for sauce. Brush ham with some of the glaze mixture. Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 140°, 35-45 minutes, brushing every 10 minutes with remaining glaze., Warm reserved sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally; serve with ham.

CRANBERRY-TANGERINE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk flour, 1/3 cup sugar, peel, baking powder, and salt in bowl to blend. Add 1/2 cup chilled butter. Using fingertips, rub in until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in cranberries.
• Whisk crème fraîche, tangerine juice, and egg in medium bowl to blend. Gradually add to flour mixture, using fork to toss until moist clumps form. Knead dough briefly on lightly floured surface until smooth. Pat dough into 8-inch round. Cut into 8 equal wedges. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with raw sugar.
• Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. (Can be made up to 1 month ahead. Cool completely. Wrap in aluminum foil; freeze. Serve at room temperature.)

• Mash with a potato masher to break up fruit, leaving some chunks, but not whole berries.

CRANBERRY TANGERINE JAM

Steps:

• In large pot combine cranberries, water and juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer covered until cranberries pop. Remove from heat and cool for 1 hour. Then transfer cranberry mixture to a blender or food processor. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Return to pot.
• Add sugar and cinnamon, stir. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for about 25 minutes or until mixture is thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Discard cinnamon stick.
• Ladle into hot sterilized 4 oz jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Wipe rims and add lids.
• Process jars for your recommended altitude.
• I like chunkier jam, so I will instead blend half the cranberries, water and juice first before cooking, then put blended berry mixer and whole berries into pot and go to step 2. Or just process all the fruit until smooth, then go onto step 2. This cuts out the 1 hour of cooling time.
• If you are using frozen berries, just defrost them in cool water. Frozen cranberries last up to one year. The older they are the more wrinkled the berries become. Any mush berries should be discarded.
