Cranberries are naturally high in pectin, which makes this a reassuring jelly for first-time preservers. If you are new to jelly making, this is a very steady place to begin.   Recipe Information   Author: Annie Halder Makes: About 4 small jars Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: About 45 minutes Skill level: Beginner Equipment: Large saucepan, fine sieve or jelly bag, clean jars with lids   Ingredients … Read more
