Thanks, red. Wish I could...I love a good bean/bacon or ham soup...but DH is dreadfully allergic to any pork products

Isn't canning addictive? It's a bit intense during harvest but once that's past, you can do soooo much!

Sounds delish! I'm going to give it a try. Beans and bacon. My DH's favorite two food categories!!!!

Red here's what I did

I had 3 bags of cranberries (fresh) which ended up being 9 cups.
to this I added 5 cups of sugar
I added 2 cups of apple cider ( I made my own cider by taking apple juice (4 cups or so for me to drink enough too) and putting it in a pot to warm, I added a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon and a clove or 2 and a teaspon full of orange marmalade, and got it warm, I then drank a nice big mug all to myself and poured the rest in the berries !)
And of course I just tossed in some lemon juice. I didnt even measure since I like lemons.


This thing turns out super good. I like chunky cranberry sauce and so I didnt use a food mill instead I took my emersion blender to it for a few zip zips. It's a beautiful preserve like texture. I didnt use the cans I just canned mine and water bathed for 15 minutes.

Hope this helps Hope you LOVE this as much as I do! LOL

I have been making my own cranberry sauce for over a decade now, but my son always wants at least one 'can' of sauce so he can cut the rings.
HA! now he gets homemade canned .
Thanks for this!

14 pints of porkloin! First time for me. Pretty easy.

Now the easy part is done! The hard part is figuring out what to use it in/how to eat it. LOL
