Best 3 Cranberry Ginger Jelly Recipes

CRANBERRY GINGER JELLY

Steps:

• 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.
• 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).

SUNNY'S APPLE AND GINGER CRANBERRY JELLY MOLDS

Steps:

• Add the apples (seeds and all), cranberry juice, ginger and cinnamon stick to a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and steep on medium until the apples are mushy, about 25 minutes. Strain the contents of the pot using a fine-mesh sieve and a moist paper towel or cheesecloth. Do not press anything through the sieve. Allow to drip to about 2 cups of liquid. Discard the solids.
• Wipe the pot clean or rinse with water. Pour all but 1/4 cup of the liquid back into the pot and add the sugar. Cook on medium high until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the gelatin to the reserved 1/4 cup liquid and stir. Stir this into the pot and remove from the heat. Let cool until just warm.
• Coat the inside of four 8-ounce ridged party cups (or several shot glass-size party cups) with cooking spray (you may want to double the cups so you don't warp them). Once the liquid has cooled a bit, divide among the cups. Place on a tray and refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.
• To unmold, dunk the sides of the cups in warm water and wiggle out the jelly.
