I couldn't just WASTE these Cranberries!

After making homemade cranberry juice concentrate, Sarah had SO MUCH leftover cranberry pulp! It would have been a shame to waste the pulp, so she turned it into cranberry sauce and water bath canned it.

It's official, I've made up my mind. I'M GOING TO START CANNING!!!! WOOHOO!

[@philcriswell3540]

It's a really fun and economical way to preserve extra harvest or great deals you find in the grocery store. Anything high sugar/acid you can do with a hot water bath canner. Think tomatoes, jams and jellies. Any meat, beans or low acid foods like corn, green beans or potatoes you have to upgrade to a pressure canner, which will set you back a bit more. I've picked up two water bath canners at thrift stores for a few buck each. Even new, they only run about $20. You'll also want to invest in the Ball or other brand, canning kit with the jar lifter, funnel, etc... Most grocery and farm stores, even Target and Walmart, carry jars and two part lids (you only use the lid part once, but can use the rings over and over). You can often find canning jars at thrift stores as well, just make sure that they have no chips on the rims or cracks. Also, ask your older relatives and neighbors that lived through the depression and/or the age of Victory Gardens. They'll probably give you a carload of canning jars for free! Have fun! Jams and jellies are always a great place to start your canning adventures. You can do small batches with little time or money invested.

[@eleojoakor9088]

YAY!!

[@hellskitchenkritterandfrie3372]

You will be so happy and proud you did.

[@darlenewesley3617]

It's a year later. Did you start to can?

[@247KW]

I hope you started canning. It really is fun and is an art.

[@HaphazardGardens]

Man i just love when a recipe fills a dozen jars so perfectly its so satisfying.

[@toneyjohnson8910]

Next time you open a jar grill some pork chops on the grill and after you turn them put some of your cranberry sauce on top it will make the chops very tender and moist. Thanks for the video.

[@melissaschaub1275]

That comes out to be roughly $.30 a pint for the juice concentrate and sauce. How smart is that!

[@megansmouthful747]

I look forward to your videos every morning. My nine year old Grace and I have a "tradition" of watching your videos together. Thank you!

[@vampiricconure]

Up here we call Cranberry Sauce 'poor person's jam' because it makes an excellent spread over bread with a bit of butter. Excellent stuff!

[@nestpeeper]

PB and cranberry sauce sandwiches. Good on toast too.

[@joybickerstaff194]

Nest Peeper ohh, thank does sound delicious! Thank u

[@stevengonzalez27]

Nest Peeper I thought my family are the only ones in the universe enjoying that.... we just love this treat.

[@theheritagehousesc]

That’s what I did yesterday with my cranberry pulp. I also added one large gala apple chopped in small pieces and one can of tangerine oranges. I love the combo! You can use cranberry sauce on chicken or pork too. Don’t wait till Thanksgiving guys!

[@thecrazycanner3599]

i don't know how long you have been filming, but you have really come alive. I find that I really enjoy your videos on every subject matter you film. I made cranberry sauce this year but I ran mine through the victorio strainer for smooth sauce. I have about 15 bags in the freezer that was gifted to me and I wasn't sure what to do with it but your video on juice concentrate fit the bill. Thank you so much.

[@beepingwithbeppe6376]

That would be awesome to use as a cheesecake topping as well. Cranberry Cheesecake is amazing. :)

its also good with game meat and pork. The only meat that I don't like it with is beef

[@justjan147]

I place cinnamon sticks, allspice berries and whole cloves in a spice bag and add it to the cranberries while they are cooking.

[@relsba]

I don’t have my farm any more and seldom can. But since I found your site I am fascinated by how detailed your instructions are and love to watch them.

I love cranberry sauce. I use it as a contaminant with pork and chicken. I can mine with apples and walnuts and its called cranapple.

[@mousemeat1352]

Thanks Gary good to know i can can w walnuts. Try adding raisins soooo good. I am going to can this year for the first time thanks to Sarah and i am soon to be 70.

[@RhodaLevy]

I lucked up right after your first video and found cranberries on sale too, wiped out the grocery store ( shoulda seen the looks I got)...I just grinned and danced all the way home...going to put a dent in some berries this weekend. Thank you.

[@gvas7560]

Great tip on saving this pulp. You can also use it on sandwiches with Turkey meat. We call that Thanksgiving sandwich 😊 God bless you 🤗

[@lorifive]

I remember your video when you were canning your orange /tangerine juice. Can't find that video anymore! ;-( That's when I started following you. Thank you for all of your videos! Keep up the great work! All the best! Lori

Lol salivating !

[@jenniferblankinship946]

Hi Sarah...on the morning of game days I put a can of cranberry sauce and a store bought bottle of chili sauce in a crockpot. Then add small meatballs or little smokies. Put them on low and by game time they are swimming in this amazing sauce. Awesome football food.

Looks wonderful Sarah ..... those jars of cranberry sauce would make great gifts as well! Take care.

[@sarahmannluker7528]

Yay, I made the concentrate on Monday and have been waiting to see what you did with the pulp. I put mine in a freezer bag to wait for processing. When I mixed up some juice I tried it with sugar first and it was good, but then decided to add a touch of honey to my glass and WOW, it was fantastic! Thanks for sharing this.

[@shonitagarcia3222]

Beautifully done. I also add Orange juice to my cranberry sauce recipe and even in my blueberry muffins recipe! Just substitute half the milk for Orange juice! Yum! Thanks for sharing!

It could go it muffins or orange cranberry bread

[@Judten1]

@@LivingTraditionsHomestead Hello! Definitely making this as soon as tomorrow. I have plenty enough pulp now without having to add the fresh bags to cook down. Is it absolutely necessary to use new bags with the pulp if I have enough pulp to use to make these cranberries??????? Thank you so much. Hope to hear back soon!💕. Anyone know at all if ok?

[@dwlsn93]

@@Judten1 A chef I just watched made cranberry butter. I like to make a desert called cranberry fool. You can make the sauce and freeze it in freezer bags or plastic containers with lids. It can be used all year long. There are a ton of cranberry recipes on KZbin & everywhere to use up this sauce. Best wishes!

[@tanyahealy8812]

Thanks for sharing! Recipe idea is a herb and cranberry pork roast or rabbit.

Wonderful eating all year long. So much better than store bought. I use my Berkey filtered water in my canners and everything stays so clean. The vinegar in the water was pitting the inside of my canner.

Cranberry sauce is the #1 best spread on turkey or chicken sandwiches. Also good glaze for ham or in scones.

I do that sometimes, too.

Thank you Sarah for sharing. I made cranberry, raspberry juice yesterday. And I didn’t want to throw the pulp away. So I used it to make cranberry, raspberry sauce! It came out so good!! Thank you again for sharing!!

Please be sure to rinse your cranberries 2 or 3 times to wash away any contaminats from the bagging and shipping process. Homemade cranberry sauce is the best ever!!

My grandmother lived in Arizona for a long time. And some of my fondest memories of visiting during spring break, was pulling into the city at night and smelling the citrus blossoms. And my grandma had an orange tree, tangelo tree, and grapefruit tree in her back yard. I'd climb the grapefruit tree every morning and pick my breakfast. We might be moving to Arizona this summer for a job tansfer, and I cannot wait to have fresh citrus!

You did great with getting all the juice and sauce from those bags of cranberries set up for your family...

[@amyharding4208]

When making homemade cranberry sauce you can substitute the sugar for honey 🍯 it’s so good and you honestly cannot tell the difference:) Edit: to add to your cream cheese idea: chop up a jalapeño and mix it into the sauce!

[@jeanrichards8042]

My mom makes cranberry sauce every year. She freezes it and we use it with all meat pretty much. Pork chops, roast, chicken, turkey. We just have it available to put on the plate and eat it. SO delicious! I'm gonna can it next time though. I love the idea of getting 2 products out of it and great not to have to defrost ahead of time. Thank you!

[@mitche499]

Sarah I just love to hear the popping sound when the jars seal, greatest sound of satisfaction. Your recipe sounds very good. God Bless to you and your family. :-)

[@moonbunny2997]

What a great idea! I add orange zest, orange juice, and diced apples to my sauce. I used leftovers in my homemade yogurt. I bought a few bag and froze them as well, but it never occurred to me to just can the stuff! What a huge space saver! Thank you!

I love cranberry sauce! Since childhood, and a major surgery at the age of 4 or 5, my left kidney gives me grief from time to time. Eating cranberry sauce and of course drinking cranberry juice gives my kidneys a boost. I’ve never made it in my life, but how cheaply you were able to buy them I bet they’re a lot cheaper than buying juice and sauce at the store! Great video!

Have you thought about making a citrus greenhouse with patio citrus trees? They are awesome little trees that do well in pots or raised beds (the raised beds allow the greenhouse to keep the dirt and roots warm). That is on my wish list for my homestead along with a small beehive inside it for awesome citrus honey. That cranberry sauce looks awesome! Have you thought about making cranberry jelly?

[@christinenewell4587]

Mmmmmm,yum. It's nice to see that you enjoy tips from comments. You made the cranberry sauce very much like I do mine at Christmas. I added some cinnamon and a splash of port to a couple of jars and have to say, it was very tasty. I've never 'canned' but grew up with parents who preserved all sorts.... Chutney, pickles, jams galore. Always a Christmas pudding in the larder from the year before. I find the canning videos very interesting but we don't seem to do it as much here.

[@swianecki]

I love cranberry orange sauce too. Eat it all year long, like Kevin. I make mine with raw cranberries and whole oranges. Put in food processor. Add sugar and walnuts. Freezes very well. Easy and delicious.

[@portialancaster3442]

Your recipe is close to my mom's. She was born in 1913 and got the recipe from her mom so its an old one. Using a hand grinder clamped to the kitchen counter, she ground fresh cranberries, oranges skin and all, and apples skin and all. Everything, juice and all fell into a pot. Sweet apples cut way down on the amount of sugar needed. Unlike her mom, she added cherry or raspberry jello mix with sugar - just the mix not the finished product. She did add sugar then heated in briefly before refrigerated. I never knew her to can it. We were a family of seven and ate pretty much everything in sight. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Canned cranberries in November. I had wanted cranberries all year as there were non to be had after the holidays last year. I waited for the after holiday sales and there were none this year or last. $.89 were the cheapest they got and I even had to pay 2 for $3 for some. I am so glad though to have jars canned and some bags in the freezer. I use brown sugar when I can mine and some cinnamon. I have never tried them with orange juice, need to try that. Same as you I use much less sugar than recipes call for. I don’t like super sweet.
