Wash the cranberries. Add them to a large stock pot with the sugar, apple cider and pumpkin pie spice. Stir well to combine.
Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to boil.
Reduce the heat and place the lid on the pot, but leave it ajar so that steam can escape. Allow the jam to simmer for about 20 minutes, until it has thickened a bit.
Remove from heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
Transfer to jars or similar airtight containers. Refrigerate until ready to use. Or once the jam is room temperature, store in the freezer.
