Thanksgiving: Cranberry Jelly

Source of Recipe

From "The Fannie Farmer Cookbook" by Marion Cunningham


Recipe Introduction

"This is a tart, soft-textured jelly, very unlike its canned counterpart."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 12 ounces fresh cranberries
â—¦ 1 cup water
â—¦ 1 to 1 ½ cups sugar
â—¦ Salt



Recipe

Wash the cranberries. Bring the water to a boil, add the cranberries, and boil for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from burning, especially at the end.

Put the berries through a strainer or food mill. Return them to the pot and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the sugar to taste and a pinch of salt and cook 2 minutes more. Pour into a bowl and chill.

Makes 2 ½ cups


• Spiced Cranberry Jelly:
Add with the cranberries a 2-inch stick of cinnamon, 3 whole cloves, and 3 allspice berries.
