Can I can this cranberry sauce?
Comments (5)The only recipe I have that's similar is sweeter, more of a jam - but here it is.... 8 cups of peeled and diced apple (and firm apple like Granny Smith won't cook down as well) 4 cups whole cranberries 6 cups sugar 1 cup water 2 lemons, zested and juiced Combine the apples, cranberries, sugar and water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, skimming foam. Cook 10-15 minutes, or until the cranberries pop and apples soften. Add lemon zest and juice and simmer until the liquid in the pot begins to thicken - then cook, stirring until thick and syrup-y. Ladle into clean jars, process boiling water bath 10 minutes. I applaud you wanting to do things from scratch, but if you are anticipating busy months with a new baby, 1) your DH may very well understand and make some sacrifices himself, and 2) while it's not like freshly made, Ocean Spray whole cranberry sauce isn't awful. I have a BIL who loves that and keep it on hand for him when our local berries are out of season. He likes it cold so when I know he's coming to eat, I put a can in the refrigerator :)...See Morecan I freeze apples/pears for later sauce making?
Comments (1)Sure, you can freeze them. If you plan to use a food mill or strainer, then you can freeze them just as they are, with skins and cores (though you might want to halve or quarter them to be able to pack them more efficiently and take up less room in the freezer). OR you can peel them and core them, then freeze them, so when you defrost you only have to cook and mash. if you do this, toss them with a little lemon juice or Fruit Fresh before freezing to help them keep from browning.

Comments (4)I just toss the bags of cranberries into the freezer. Pull them out when you need some and usually don't even have to defrost, just rinse quickly and cook. I cannot tell the difference whatsoever. Nancy...See MoreCanning Chile Cranberry Sauce
Comments (17)I just realized that I didnÂt include the procedure I used or the yield when I posted the ingredients earlier. IÂll try this one more time incase anyone wants to use it. Habanero Cranberry Jelly Ingredients: 3/4 cup cider vinegar 3/4 cup white vinegar 2 cups 100% unsweetened cranberry juice 1/2 cup finely diced habanero pepper 1/2 cup finely diced red onion 1 3/4 cups fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped 1 pkg liquid pectin 5 cups sugar Procedure: Finely dice peppers and onion and coarsely chop cranberries In a large sauce pan, combine cranberries, pepper, onion, vinegars, and juice Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low Simmer 15 Â 20 minutes to allow flavors to blend and to soften up cranberries Add sugar and return to a hard boil for 1 minute Remove from heat and stir liquid pectin in well Add jelly to hot sterilized jars Wipe rim of jars with a clean damp towel Position lids as per usual instructions Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes Remove jars and allow them to cool During the cooling, periodically "gently" invert jars to distribute solids.
