Clean and wash the fresh berries. Cover and boil with water over medium heat for about 40 minutes. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the back of a knife (save any leftovers!). Pass the mixture through a sieve (“flour mill” or similar kitchen utensil). Bring the fruit mixture to a rolling boil with the cinnamon bark, vanilla seeds, and the amount of gelling sugar specified by the manufacturer. Stir in the citric acid, chili flakes (use carefully!), Sambuca liqueur, and season with a pinch of salt. Remove the cinnamon bark and pour the jam into sterilized twist-off jars. Tightly seal the jars with the appropriate screw caps and turn upside down for about 10 minutes, then turn them upside down and let cool. Delicious with grilled lamb and game, or as a fondue sauce/dip, etc.
