Tips:
- Select ripe and fresh cranberries: Plump, deep-red cranberries are the best choice for making jelly or jam. Avoid any cranberries that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the jelly or jam from scorching and will also help it to cook more evenly.
- Cook the jelly or jam to the proper consistency: Jelly should be cooked to a temperature of 220°F (104°C), while jam should be cooked to a temperature of 212°F (100°C). Use a candy thermometer to ensure accuracy.
- Store the jelly or jam properly: Once the jelly or jam has been made, it should be stored in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Jelly or jam can also be canned for longer storage.
