Servings: persons

1
Stir together 1 cup sugar and raspberries in a bowl and let stand for 1 hour.
2
Add cranberries and the remaining sugar together in a stainless steel pan and place over high heat.
3
Stir constantly so the sugar does not burn until the cranberries begin to release juice, about 5 minutes.
4
Continue cooking until all the cranberries have popped and the mixture is syrupy and comes to a boil.
5
Skim off any foam that forms on top and continue to cook and stir until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes more.
6
Add the raspberries and all their juice and cook for 10 minutes more.
7
Stir in the dried cranberries, sliced orange and spices.
8
Remove a small amount of the jam to a saucer and place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
9
If the mixture wrinkles when pushed to one side, it is ready.
10
If not, continue cooking for 5 minutes and retest.
11
When the preserves are the right consistency, turn down the heat to a simmer stir in Grand Marnier and ladle into hot sterilized jars.
12
Wipe the rims clean with a damp towel and seal with new lids and metal rings.
13
Process in a hot-water bath for 5 minutes.
14
Remove, cook, check seals, label, and store.
