Ocean Spray Overnight Jellied Cranberry Sauce

Original recipe calls for 3 cups cranberries, 1 cup water, and 1 cup sugar. I used a 2 lb bag (907g or 8 cups worth) of fresh cranberries. Make this a day in advance! Jellies overnight in fridge.

Step 1

Put fresh cranberries in a big colander. Sort through them and pick out shriveled up, mushy, and tan colored cranberries. Toss those. Rinse the rest with water over sink. Set aside while you start cooking.

Step 2

Put sugar and water into a medium-large pot and bring to a boil. Add the cranberries, careful not to splash yourself with hot sugar water. Boil for about 10 min., stirring occasionally. Be careful! You don't want it to boil over. I kept my heat around medium-high or medium. As they heat up, the cranberry skins will burst and make a loud popping sound. Recommended to stand away from the pot as it boils, and just keep an eye on it from a distance.

Step 3

After boiling, remove from heat. Spoon hot cranberries and water into a food processor. I've tried straining it and it's just too much work. When pureed, pour into a fun shaped container. I like using a wavy quiche pan. Let cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and put in fridge overnight. It jellies up overnight.

Step 4

Enjoy! It's tasty, tart, and sweet. I served it alongside "turkey" seitan.

Step 5

It makes a lot! I got 6 servings and a round quiche pan's worth (maybe 12 servings total?).
