- Rinse 2 cups of fresh cranberries under cold running water and discard any bruised ones. Set aside to drain.
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of apple cider vinegar, and ½ cup of water over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
- Once syrup reaches a gentle simmer, add rinsed cranberries and sliced jalapeños, stirring well.
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes until most cranberries burst open.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and salt.
- Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.
- Pour into sterilized glass jars while warm, leaving space at the top.
- Seal jars and refrigerate for optimal flavor after 24 hours.
- Enjoy as a dip with cream cheese and crackers or as a glaze for meats.

Notes
Opt for firm, bright cranberries. If you prefer a milder kick, remove jalapeño seeds. Store in the fridge for up to one month, or freeze for up to six months.
