  • You sure can! With the amount of sugar involved, it is a quick jam that can be kept in the refrigerator for quite a while.
  • It stays good at room temperature for several days too!
  • Can you use frozen cranberries?
  • Absolutely!
  •  Ways to use leftover cranberry sauce:
  • Any leftovers go really great in thumbprint cookies, over baked brie, or baked into muffins!
