Yield Makes about sixty-four 1" jellies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large green apple, peeled, chopped
1 pound fresh (or frozen, thawed) cranberries
2 cups sugar, divided, plus more for coating
2 teaspoons pectin
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Special equipment:
A candy thermometer

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8" baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on 2 sides. Puree apple, cranberries, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and 1 cup water in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a large deep heavy pot fitted with thermometer and cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until mixture is very thick and bubbly (it will sputter and splatter as it cooks; reduce heat if needed), 8-10 minutes.
  • Whisk pectin and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl, then gradually whisk into cranberry mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, whisking often, until thermometer registers 200°, 15-20 minutes (mixture will be dark red and extremely thick).
  • Whisk lemon juice into cranberry mixture, then scrape into prepared pan; smooth top. Let cool until set (it should feel firm when you gently press it), at least 4 hours.
  • Just before serving, unmold jelly onto a cutting board and cut into 1" squares. Toss jellies in sugar to coat.
  • Do ahead: Jelly can be made 1 week ahead. Store in pan, tightly wrapped, at room temperature. Cut and roll in sugar just before serving.

JELLIED APPLE CRANBERRY SAUCE



Jellied Apple Cranberry Sauce image

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

a 12-ounce bag of cranberries, picked over
2 large Granny Smith apples (about 1 pound)
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups sugar
mint sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan combine the cranberries, the apples, chopped coarse (not peeled or cored), the wine, and the sugar, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, and simmer it, covered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until it is very thick and is reduced to about 3 cups. Force the mixture through a food mill fitted with the fine disk into a bowl, spoon it into an oiled 3-to-4 cup decorative mold, and chill it, covered, overnight. Run a thin knife around the edge of the mold and dip the mold into warm water for 10 seconds. Invert the mold onto a serving plate and garnish the cranberry sauce with the mint sprigs.

Tips for Making Perfect Cran-Apple Jellies

  • Use fresh, ripe cranberries and apples. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Wash the cranberries and apples thoroughly before using. This will remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the apples. This will help to prevent them from browning.
  • Cook the cranberries and apples until they are soft. This will help to extract the pectin, which is necessary for the jelly to set.
  • Add sugar to the cranberries and apples gradually. This will help to prevent the jelly from crystallizing.
  • Bring the jelly to a rapid boil. This will help to kill any bacteria and ensure that the jelly sets properly.
  • Pour the jelly into sterilized jars. This will help to prevent the jelly from spoiling.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. This will help to seal the jars and ensure that the jelly is shelf-stable.

Conclusion

Cran-apple jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, crackers, or fruit. It can also be used as a glaze for ham or turkey. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own cran-apple jelly at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your jelly turns out perfectly.
