- Combine all ingredients in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
- Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture has consistency of thick jam (when you scrape the bottom of the pan with a spoon, the line should hold and not run back into itself), about 2 hours. Taste and adjust seasoning, then cool and refrigerate until ready to use.; This jam will keep in refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
- Option: To preserve, put jam in canning jar, with lid and ring; place in hot water bath for 15 minutes or heat mixture to boiling, put in mason jars and seal with lid and tightly turned ring. Turn upside down and allow to cool. Can be divided into smaller jars to give as gifts.
