Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent scorching and ensure even heat distribution. For a smoother jam, you can lightly crush some of the strawberries and cranberries before cooking. Ensure the fruit pectin is fresh for optimal gelling. If you don't have margarine, a teaspoon of butter or a neutral-flavored oil can be substituted to reduce foaming. Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste, but remember that sugar is essential for both flavor and preservation. Processing time may need to be adjusted based on your altitude; consult canning guidelines for accurate processing times. Always use new lids for canning to guarantee a proper seal.
