Cranberry Jelly
We can and preserve much of the harvest from our garden every year and we love to share those products with our friends and family. Through the years we have shared an abundant garden harvest and it gives us much joy to do so. Every year we like to make a very special canned good to share at Christmas with friends and family. This year we have made this beautiful Cranberry Jelly. What could be better at Christmas than a nice jar of Cranberry Jelly. This Jelly is delicious and can be paired with meats, poultry, and great with vegetables. We have been enjoying it with our sour dough bread and toasted bagels. It is a great jelly and providing we have some left by Christmas, we will be sharing a jar or two.

ReplyDeleteI love this idea! The colors are perfect for the holiday table I wonder if I can let half gel and fill the rest with a green spearmint on top.. Wonderful gift! thanks
ReplyDeleteDo you think this could be modified to use the low sugar pectin? Do you have a guess how much sugar would be used? It sure makes a beautiful jelly. We enjoy cranberry anything and everything!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could answer your question, however I have not tried the low sugar pectin so I would not be able to answer at this time. If I do try it, I will sure come back and let you know. Thanks so much for stopping by and if you try the low sugar pectin, be sure and let us know. Have a great day and happy cooking!

I can’t buy cranberries or cranberry juice cocktail but I was able to find a bottle of 100% cranberry juice. Is it possible to substitute this by adding sugar and diluting with water or juice? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Audrie,
DeleteThis is a great question and one that I would have to do trail and error with. I believe first I would not dilute with water, however I would add a little sugar to taste. Then I would just follow the recipe from there. If you try this or find another way, please give us an update, we always want to know how it turns out. I am excited about your trail so be sure and get back to us. Thanks so much for stopping by , we appreciate your visit!
