EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Be sure to cook the cranberries until they “pop” in order to release the natural pectin, which thickens the sauce.

Want more flavor? Stir in 1 tablespoon grated orange peel after cooking.

I love this recipe because it does not use anything orange. I am allergic to oranges. Also I sometimes use Splenda instead of sugar as I am a diabetic. If I want it more tart I use 1 tsp of lemon zest.

Question: does anyone know how to make this into "jelly" form? The recipe looks easy & great, but w/a texture sensitivity I prefer the canned, smooth version. Would love to b able to make it myself & save $$$. I buy the health store version & it's about $2 per can! Thank u :)
