- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a slow cooker, add the strawberries, cranberries, sugar, water, and spices.

Notes
For a less sweet jam, reduce sugar to 3/4 cup or use brown sugar for deeper flavor. Using frozen cranberries works perfectly as well.
