Instructions

  1. Pour water into a medium saucepan. Add the sugar. Bring the syrup to a boil.
  2. Quickly add the cranberries to the boiling syrup. Let the berries heat in the syrup for about 3 minutes.
  3. Quickly ladle cranberries into the jars, leaving a half-inch headspace.
  4. Remove bubbles with a wooden or plastic tool. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel. Center the lid. Screw on the band fingertip tight.
  5. Process the jars for 15 minutes, adjusting for altitude.
  6. Get the canner water hot, and add the filled jars. Once the water is boiling, set the timer.
  7. Once processing time is done, remove the pot from the heat, carefully open the lid, and move it partially off the top of the canning pot. Let it rest like that for 5 minutes.
  8. Then, remove the lid and allow the jars to rest in the canning pot for another 5 to 10 minutes.
  9. After resting, remove the jars onto a kitchen towel placed on your counter and let them thoroughly cool for 12-24 hours, undisturbed. You may hear the lids pinging sometime in the next hour. This is music to a canner’s ears. It is due to the reaction of the lids being sealed to the jar.
  10. Check the seals. Press down in the middle of the lid. If it flexes up or down, the jar is not sealed and should be refrigerated and used first.
  11. Then, remove the bands. Gently pick the jar up by the lid to further check the seal. Again, if it is not sealed, use it first.
  12. Label jars with contents and the date. Store in a cool, dark space.

Notes

  • See the section below for the quantities. If you use the cranberries mostly for baking, you can use light syrup. Otherwise, use heavy syrup. This will give them the best flavor out of the jar.
