@prairie.creek.hom: Feeling festive in this cold snap! 20° and preparing filling for pies and side dishes for Thanksgiving and Christmas 🦃🎄this recipe makes 9 half pint jars! 8 cups fresh cranberries 4 cups water 4 cups sugar 2 Tbsp. Orange zest 1 cinnamon stick (Splash of orange juice added when opened to make pies. You can add some spices like nutmeg if you wish) Directions: 1. Bring water and sugar to a boil, let simmer for 5 minutes. 2. While it simmers, wash your fresh berries well and discard any bad berries. 3. Add berries to the simple syrup solution and boil, until the cranberries begin to blister. Add the cinnamon stick. You can use a potato masher to hurry things along, mashing the berries and mixing while it continues to boil and thicken, about 15 minutes. Stir often so it doesn’t burn. 4. Add orange zest the last few minutes of boiling, the. Remove the cinnamon stick. It will be thickened enough when it coats the back of a spoon nicely. 5. Fill hot jars to 1/4 inch headspace, wipe rims, add lids and bands to fingertip tightness. 6. Process in a waterbath canner for 15 minutes. Turn off heat, let sit for 5 minutes then remove jars to a toweled counter for 12 hours. Remove bands, check seals and label. Store and enjoy!
