Cranberry Sauce Using Frozen Berries

[@shelly8387]

I read on a blog from a lady who has a cranberry farm, that freezing cranberries reduce the pecten in them by 50%, and frozen cranberries is what she recommends frozen berries to make juice with. I made my cranberry sauce from frozen berries and it gelled just fine.

[@cm9743]

No kidding! I have about 15 bags of frozen cranberries, and now that I know that they loose pectin when frozen, I won't do a sauce with them, but a juice.

I Love this channel. I'm a viewer from full-time Wyoming and vacation home in St George UT. I read about an Idaho hiker today from Wyoming that contracted botulism from canned soup not properly stored. He's been in SLC for 7 weeks; paralyzed. Safe canning is NO JOKE! Thank you for your work on safe canning!❤

That is so unfortunate. We all need to be very diligent with our safety measures.

I always get extra cranberries and turkeys this time of year and can them up to use the rest of the year while they are so cheap. Doing my turkey broth today.

[@rkng1]

My son and I are the only 2 in the family that enjoy cranberries. I get a bag and then make the recipe on the back of the bag and water bath them so we can enjoy them throughout the year. I usually add extra orange juice and zest. I sometimes put a stick of cinnamon while they are cooking and remove it prior to canning.

[@midwestern925]

I made cranberries with mandarin oranges adding orange juice in place of the water and cinnamon sticks to can. Tasted fantastic. The 5 lb. bag of oranges was only $3.00 and cranberries were .88 a bag.I also adequate some orange marmalade with the oranges.

My favorite recipe I learned from the guy conducting a wine tasting at the vineyard i was visiting. Its so easy and everyone demands that I make it every year since I first made it. I just use the recipe on the bag but substitute red wine for the water and add ground clove to taste. About 1/4 tsp to 1/2 tsp per bag of cranberries. I may consider adding orange zest this year. I make another version with is more of a sugar free jello relish with apple, orange pear and crushed pineapple. I throw in some chopped pecans too. I make a whipping cream cream cheese layer in the middle of a crystal bowl and it comes out so pretty. I love cranberry anything. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Another great video, Dr Pam! Many people don don’t know how easy it is to make cranberry sauce, so thanks for your demo. I’ve been making it since the 70’s from a cranberry package. Over the years, I’ve tweaked with the sugar amount & skip the water. We are happy with just the orange juice for liquid. Sometimes I add red wine, this year our paper has a recipe with cardamom and brown sugar in it.

Cranberries are very acidic. Cranberry sauce has lots of sugar. It lasts a long, long time in the fridge. I e made it at thanksgiving and served the (planned) leftovers with ham at Easter. Cranberry sauce is versatile - it works with dark poultry (e.g., duck), pork, lamb. For those who use alcohol, I add a shot of orange liqueur once the cranberry sauce is cooked while it’s still hot.

[@prosciutto92]

How long am I boiling the cranberries for?

[@jholcomb9052]

If you don't care for orange in your cranberries, like me, you can chop up an apple with the skin on, which has pectin, too. I boil the chopped apple in the water first, with some spices (allspice, ginger, nutmeg, whatever you like). After boiling for 5-10 minutes, I add 1/2 the cranberries, simmer until popped, then add the other half and simmer for a few minutes, so I have some berries that still retain their shape. With all that pectin, I can cut the sugar in half, or use monkfruit to sweeten.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

That sounds very good! Jim

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

It’s great layered in a postTurkey Day casserole. The sweetness & the fruitiness and the meat rly work. I even do turkey sandws (if I allow myself to waste some turkey that could go in a dinner) with a spread of it over the turkey. I freeze all the leftover turkey in 2-3c portions the nite as we have dinner at 1pm. I rest then start the keeping the leftovers.

[@dianeladico1769]

For canning the pH paper is more than sufficient. With a meter I'd be concerned about drift. Then you'd have to buy buffers to recalibrate or at the very least check it. Depending on the probe some meters are wildly inaccurate/inconsistent and the most reliable are not inexpensive as our lab purchasing manager found out the hard way. When stored properly the paper is reliable for years. I wouldn't take a chance on food safety unless the meter was routinely checked and calibrated.
