Since we are on cranberries I decided to go ahead and share what other cranberry recipes that I used for Thanksgiving. First up homemade cranberry jelly. I have always loved cranberry jelly out of the can. My whole family LOVES it! I have never made it homemade before this year mostly because I thought it was much like making traditional jellies and would be too much work. Well......I found this recipe and it was just a plain recipe with no extra stuff like orange peel or anything else. It was just plain cranberries, sugar and water. So I decided to give it a whirl. This is so unbelievably easy that I will never again purchase this from a can. Wow was this good! I doubled this recipe so that I could have some extra jelly to use in another recipe that will come up next, Cranberry Freeze or my version was Cranberry Fluff so stay tuned those will post next.
Publix had these little jewels on sale buy one get one free so I ended up caving and purchasing several bags and am I glad I did!
Here they are all washed and pretty.
Aren't they gorgeous? They just scream take a picture of me!
Homemade Cranberry Sauce 1 12 ounce bag of fresh or frozen cranberries 1. In a saucepan, mix water and sugar and heat on medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add cranberries and bring to a low boil. Stir frequently and reduce heat to keep the sauce at a low boil for about 10 minutes. When the sauce begins to thicken and the cranberries begin to burst remove from heat. The sauce will thicken as it cools. The picture above is what they look like as they are cooking and the cranberries are starting to pop. The next picture is the finished product. If you have an opportunity to try this recipe you won't be sorry.
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
