Ingredients
Scale
- 24 ounces fresh cranberries (two 12-ounce bags)
- 1 cup pure maple syrup (or substitute with brown sugar if desired)
Instructions
- Rinse the cranberries thoroughly and place them in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven.
- Add the maple syrup to the cranberries, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Bring the cranberry mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and let the berries boil for 5-10 minutes until they pop open and soften, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- After boiling, allow the mixture to cool slightly before transferring it to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and silky.
- If the mixture isn’t thick enough after blending, return it to the saucepan and simmer until it reaches the desired thickness.
- Spoon the cranberry delight into clean jars and let it cool before refrigerating. Ensure the lids are secured if storing for extended periods.
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
