Just need the lids and the project is finished!!!  Delicious!

Thanks to Angelina Shangin for giving us the cranberries.  I couldn't find any ripe bananas in Anchorage so I had to bring the cranberries back home so that I could make the jam.  I had to buy the bananas and ripen them for 4 days so that I could make this!
