CRANBERRY, RASPBERRY, PECAN CONSERVE



Cranberry, Raspberry, Pecan Conserve image

Provided by Cathy Barrow

Categories     side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 half pints or 2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces pecans
1 pound (16 ounces) fresh cranberries
4 half-pints raspberries
3 cups sugar
Juice of one lemon
1 Tablespoon orange zest

Steps:

  • In a skillet, toast pecans over medium heat, shaking pan to avoid burning. In about 8 minutes, nuts will become fragrant and smell toasty; remove from heat and chop.
  • In a large heavy pot, bring cranberries, raspberries, sugar, lemon juice and zest to a boil. Remove from heat, pour into a ceramic or glass bowl, then cover and refrigerate overnight. If not canning, add pecans and serve.
  • If canning, put a rack in a large stockpot or line the pot with a folded kitchen towel. Fill with water and bring to a boil. Add 4 half-pint canning jars or two pint-size canning jars and boil for 10 minutes. Jars may be left in the warm water in the pot until ready to be filled. Alternatively, sterilize the jars by running them through a dishwasher cycle, leaving them there until ready to fill.
  • Place canning rings in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the lids to soften their rubber gaskets. Rings and lids may be left in the water until jars are filled.
  • Strain the cranberry raspberry mixture through a sieve over a heavy pot, then place the strainer in a bowl to catch any additional syrup. Reserve the fruit solids.
  • Bring liquid to a boil. When syrup reaches 220 degrees, or an active boil that cannot be stirred down, add back the fruit and any juices that have accumulated.
  • Bring the mixture back to a hard boil, stirring constantly. Add the pecans, and then cook until the conserve is at a boil that cannot be stirred down and has thickened to a jammy consistency.
  • Remove the jars from the pot. Ladle hot conserve into the hot jars, leaving 1/2-inch head space.
  • Wipe jar rims with a damp towel. Place lids on jars, screw on rings and lower jars back into the pot of boiling water. Return to a full boil and boil the jars for 15 minutes for half pints, 20 minutes for pints. Transfer jars to a folded towel and allow to cool for 12 hours; you should hear jars ping as they seal.
  • Once cool, test seals by removing rings and lifting jars by the flat lid. If the lid releases, the seal has not formed. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a month, or reprocessed. Rings and jars may be reused, but a new flat lid must be used each time jars are processed. To reprocess, reheat conserve to boiling, then continue as before.

CRANBERRY FRUIT CONSERVE



Cranberry Fruit Conserve image

This is a holiday family favorite that is delicious. I have had this recipe for a long time and have adapted it so it is almost fool-proof. I usually double the recipe because it goes so fast at the table. It is also versitile: omit the rasins and nuts for a great cranberry sauce. Cook it a bit more for a thicker, traditional jelly for the holiday table. It is easy to make and keeps in the refrigerator in sealed containers. It's a great side for fowl and pork dishes.

Provided by Chef BobO

Categories     Jellies

Time 45m

Yield 4 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces fresh cranberries
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 apple, peeled and finely chopped Granny Smith (add a bit more if you like)
1 orange, zest and juiced
1 lemon, zest and juiced
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup walnuts or 3/4 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook cranberries, sugar and 1 cup water in saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes until the skins pop and the berries are all open and mixture comes to a slow boil. Stir to quicken the process. Add the remaining ingredients except raisins and nuts and cook 15-20 minuets stirring constantly to prevent any burning. Apple pieces should become incorporated into the mixture and become barely visible. Remove from heat and mix in nuts and raisins. Place mixture when cool in serving container and chill. Nuts and raisins can be omitted if desired for a more traditional cranberry blend. For a thicker, jellied consistency cook the mixture longer over low heat to reduce liquid approximately 30-45 minutes - stirring to avoid burning, omit the raisins and nuts for a traditional jelly. Makes approximately 4 cups.
