Jellied cranberry sauce recipe
This is a unique tasting recipe that is definitely worth the effort for preparing it. The recipe yields only 3 cups of cranberries even though I stated 4 bags. This is simply because all the solids get strained out when making them. However, I can assure you that you’ll be pleased if you have any extra cranberry sauce when you make sandwiches with your leftovers.
Yields: 3 cups
Skill level: Easy
Ingredients:
1. 4 (12-ounce) bags cranberries, thawed if frozen
2. 3 cups sugar
3. 3 ⅓ cups cold water
4. 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (from three ¼,-ounce envelopes)
Equipment(s)
1. A 3 ½-cup nonreactive decorative mold.
Step by step instructions
1. Combine the cranberries, sugar and 3 cupe of water and bring to boil in a saucepan, making sure to stair at intervals until you notice that the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Once you have done that, reduce heat and simmer, making sure it is partially covered, and stirring at intervals until all berries have completely burst. Note that this process should only take approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Now pour content into a large sieve and set over a bowl, or perhaps a glass measure and allow it stand until you notice that all the juices have drained through. This process only takes about 30 minutes. You can as well press on solids until there is enough juice to measure 3 cups, if necessary, then discard solids.
4. Now stir together gelatin as well as the remaining ⅓ cup water and allow it stand for just a minute to soften.
5. Bring just 1 cup drained cranberry liquid to a simmer in a small saucepan, then add gelatin mixture and stir properly until it is dissolved.
6. Now add gelatin mixture to remaining cranberry liquid and stir properly.
7. Pour the cranberry sauce into lightly oiled mold and chill. Be sure to cover it with plastic wrap, until it is firmly set. This should take nothing less than 12 hours.
8. In order to unmold, all you need to do is to run tip of a thin knife between edge of mold and cranberry sauce. Tilt mold sideways and tap side of mold against a work surface, turning it, so as to evenly break seal and loosen cranberry sauce. Still keeping mold tilted, invert a plate over mold, then invert cranberry sauce onto plate.
Canned cranberry sauce recipe
Did you know that canning cranberry sauce is a lot more easier than you probably think? Infact, I can assure you that once you are able to make your own canned cranberry sauce, you will never want to go back to store bought.

Step by step instructions
1. Bring sugar and water to a boil over medium-high heat and simmer for just 5 minutes.
2. Now add the cranberries and allow them cook in the sugar syrup until they begin to pop open. Note that If you’re making jellied cranberry sauce, be sure to turn off the heat and allow it to cool slightly before blending with an immersion blender. (Skip this step for whole berry sauce).
3. Add in the cinnamon stick and simmer the cranberry sauce for nothing less than 15 minutes, or perhaps until you notice that has started to thicken and sheets off the back of a metal spoon.
4. Add the orange zest (that is if you are using) in the last few minutes of cooking.
5. Ladel the cranberry sauce mixture into canning jars, leaving just ¼ inch headspace.
6. Now remove air bubbles and seal with two part canning lids.
7. Be sure to either store in the refrigerator for immediate use, or perhaps process in a water bath canner for 15 minutes only. Once that is done, turn off the canner and wait for approximately 5 minutes before removing the jars.
8. Allow the jars to cool to room temperature. Also, be sure to check seals before storing at room temperature.
Important things to note:
1. Fresh cranberries precisely yield the best cranberry sauce. However, this does not mean that previously frozen cranberries do not work. They do, but the only difference is that they do not thicken as well for cranberry sauce.
2. Jellied cranberry sauce most especially, will have a much softer set if the cranberries were previously frozen rather than fresh.
