- 12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Place the cranberries, sugars, and water in a medium saucepan.
12 oz fresh or frozen cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1 cup water
Over medium heat bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered until all the cranberries have popped open.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
To make it jellied, pour through a fine-mesh strainer and push through with the back of a spoon or spatula until there is only pulp and seeds remaining.
Pour into a jar and allow to cool before refrigerating to set completely.
This makes one pint or about 2 1/4 cups.
Storing - Covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
