Ingredients

  • 2 (12-ounce) bags fresh or frozen (thawed) cranberries
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin

Directions

  1. Combine cranberries, sugar, ginger, and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Cover, and bring to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until berries have burst and softened, about 10 minutes. Pass through a sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on solids with a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids.
  2. Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water in a bowl. Let soften 5 minutes. Add cranberry mixture; stir until gelatin has dissolved. Refrigerate, in an airtight container, at least 4 hours (or up to 1 week).

    Easy to prepare, delicious and beautiful! However, as luck would have it I'm the only one who likes cranberry. The good news is I am enjoying the leftover with plain Greek yogurt. I dish them up side by side, and take a bit of each on my spoon. Oh, so good!

    I made this with orange zest instead of ginger. It was the most gorgeous color. It wasn't as gelled as I was expecting, in the future I might use more gelatin. It was certainly delicious!

    Please help! I made this jelly and it was runny. Do you have any suggestions to saving this jelly?

    My daughter and I made this dish this afternoon. It turned out perfect!
    I have always wanted to make a "cranberry sauce" type dish.
    While not as "solidified" as the canned variety, the texture is perfect.
    The flavor...with the hint of ginger....is perfect!
    It is a lovely dish and I can't wait to serve it this Thanksgiving!
