Cranberry jam is sweeter and thicker, while cranberry sauce is more tart, with more flavor additions.

In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, and lemon juice.

Bring to a boil, stirring well to dissolve sugar and prevent sticking.

As it heats up, the cranberries will pop and release juices.

Use a potato masher to carefully mash up the cranberries. You can also use an immersion blender.

Once the jam has thickened, transfer to jars or an airtight container. Remove air bubbles.

Let jam cool to room temperature, then store in the refrigerator. See post for canning instructions.
