Cranberry Orange Jam and Crostinis

November 19, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Monday to you!  This weekend I took advantage of the cold weather and rain by hanging out of my kitchen and making lots and lots of jam!!  Every time I think of Jam I think of the episode of Friends where Monica was making jam to forget the man!

I made Wild Berry Compote, Hotter then Hell Pepper Jelly Jam, which I’ll give you the recipe later.  I also made Cranberry Orange Quick Jam, Yum and Maple Pumpkin Butter.  I was out of my Maple Pumpkin Butter and I was in need!  I love to put it on my vanilla greek yogurt, topped with Puffins.  It tastes like pumpkin pie!  After my pumpkin butter cooled, I made my parfait right away! (1 cup vanilla greek yogurt, 2 heaping tbsp. pumpkin butter, a few Puffins)


Then I continued to make more jam!!  My newest jam to the collection is Cranberry Orange Quick Jam!  I don’t know what it is, but I love cranberry and orange together.  It’s such a fantastic combination!!

I didn’t get the things done that I planned today like setting up my new shelves, doing laundry and cleaning my front room, but that’s ok because I have 7 jars of different kind of butter, jams and compotes to get me through the next few weeks.  I kind of have a thing for condiments!  I love healthy ones that can be topped on yogurt, oatmeal, meat and other fun things!

I didn’t realize how fast time went.  I spent about 5 hours making these, which isn’t to bad!  I was pretty stoked when the doorbell rang and I got my monthly Nature Box.  I love having a monthly subscription to Nature Box.  Look at the goodies I got!  It was in perfect timing because I was getting hungry!

I got in this months box Carrot Chips, Chipotle Maple Almonds, Cinnamon Spiced Granola, Roasted Garlic Pumpkin Seeds and Country Ranch Peas.  I thought the peas were weird, yet it was the first and only thing I tried so far.  Let me tell you they are really good!  I couldn’t stop eating them.  They tasted like corn nuts!  I seen them at Trader Joe’s and I was never inclined to buy them because there peas!  I was wrong  now I have to get them next time I go.  Look how weird they look!

While I was cooking, I had the tropical music station on.  My Husband came in and asked me what the heck am I listening too?  The music sounds like I was in a Mexican restaurant or Cost Plus.  I like it because I could concentrate because I didn’t know the words.  He changed the channel to 80’s music, which I love and as I’m typing this post, I’m singing Stevie Nicks, Stand Back!!  Not good!  I LOVE 80’s music.  I guess I’m showing my age!

There, I’m making my Husband turn the music off!  To hard to think, when all I want to do is dance.  Around 2pm I needed a snack and I was hot from standing in front of the stove, so I decided to whip up one of my Skinny Peppermint Mocha Frappes.  I’ll tell you I am so addicted to this drink.  I have had it everyday around 2-3pm since I posted it a couple of weeks ago!  It’s so good!  I am such a peppermint freak!!

Your probably waiting for today’s recipe for the Cranberry Orange Quick Jam and all I did is ramble on about my day.  I didn’t tell you I also made my roasted chicken too, but that we can discuss another day!  🙂  All righty then, lets talk Cranberry Orange Jam!  I thought it would be perfect to share this recipe with you since Thanksgiving is coming and it’s such a cranberry type of holiday.  This jam is very easy to make and I didn’t use any pectin, just cranberries, oranges and sugar.

This jam is fabulous served with cream cheese, brie cheese or goat cheese.  I also like is smeared on whole wheat rolls or my Cranberry Walnut Rolls, which I need to make soon since I am all out.  I made Cranberry Orange Cream Cheese crostinis as an appetizer before dinner.  I topped a few of the crostinis with chopped pistachios, but I left it out on most of them because my Husband isn’t a fan of nuts in his food.  He prefers to just eat them by the handfuls.

I love the crostinis and they are super quick to put together as long as you have the jam!  This is a perfect appetizer if you have surprise guests over to your house or you want a quick snack.  I made the crostinis with Artisan Country Loaf French Bread but it would be delicious on walnut bread or wheat bread.  My Husband won’t eat either so I had to use white bread.  When I cut into the bread there was a huge hole right through the middle, so most of my pieces are missing the center.  Glad the cream cheese filled it up!

    Can I “can” this recipe in a water bath? Or would I need to add pectin to it?

      Hi Starla, You would have to use pectin in it or lots more sugar. Honestly I am not the best person when it comes to canning, so I am not sure how pectin works, or how much you would need.

      Oh no, I am so sorry! I’m not sure? When I made it, it didn’t turn out runny. I can tell you it does thicken up. Gosh, I don’ t know what to say, except I’m sorry.

        After I was thinking about it and discussing it with my Husband, I wonder if it was the Splenda? Regular sugar I noticed in cooking things like jam, thickens it up, makes it more rich. I tend to wonder if the reason yours didn’t turn out so thick was because of the Splenda? I noticed if I make cookies, ect… with splenda the taste is fine but the texture tends to be off just a little.

          I think that has to be it. :-(. I ended up adding half a packet of s/f raspberry jello dry to thicken it a bit. I plan to add it to my cottage cheese so as long as its a bit thicker I’m ok! No need to apologize! I just really try to watch my sugar intake as much as possible. 🙂

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?
🐶
I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.
🌸
This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.
🌸
If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.
🌸
Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering
🌸
Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.
🌸
Were there any commercials you liked?

Since Spring is in my head, I created this cute Spring tiered tray. I got all of the gorgeous handcrafted pieces from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. The workmanship is amazing. They are just happy, cheery pieces.

The love birds sign is my favorite. It reminds me of my two Blue Jays that frequent my yard. They are my favorite birds next to Woody of course.

How cute is that sweet little “BLOOM” banner. Eeeee, It makes me want to plant flowers so bad. Crossing fingers that I get too. You have no idea how I just love Spring!
🌷
To get these fabulous pieces and many more, be sure to check out The Sassy Oak. She has a beautiful Etsy shop.
