Preparation
- Start by sterilizing your jars and lids to ensure your jam stays fresh longer.
- In a large pot, mix together the eggnog, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Sprinkle in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, quickly stir in the fruit pectin. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined.
- To check if the jam will set, spoon a small amount onto a cold plate and let it sit for a minute. Run your finger through it; if it holds its shape, it’s ready!
- Carefully ladle the hot jam into the prepared jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars and place the lids on tightly.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes for long-term storage. Let the jars cool, and you’ll hear the delightful 'pop' of successful sealing!
Notes
This jam pairs beautifully with toasted bagels, cheese boards, and as an addition to dessert platters. Customize with spices to suit your taste.
