2 cup Cranberries
1 cup Concentrated apple juice
1/4 cup Lemon juice
3 oz Liquid pectin (regular)
5 tbsp Glycerine
1 tbsp Unfl.gelatin or 2 tb.freezer

Wash and pick over cranberries, discarding any that are soft. Place
in a deep saucepan and add fruit juices. Cover and simmer for about
20 minutes, until fruit is soft. Mash to break up any berries left
whole.

Strain in food mill to remove seeds. Return to saucepan and heat to
boiling. Add pectin, glycerine and gelatin, stirring well. Boil for
1 minute. Remove from heat. Skim and pour into hot, sterile pint
jars, leaving 1/2 inch at top. Cap with hot sterile lids. Process
in boiling water bath for 5 minutes after water returns to boiling.
If any jars fail to seal, refrigerate and use within 10 days or
freeze for later use. Makes 3 1/2 cups.

VARIATION: You can substitute 1/2 cup low-methoxy pectin solution
and 2 1/2 tsp calcium solution for the liquid pectin and glycerine,
but add calcium after removing from heat. If you plan to freeze the
jelly, be sure to use the full amount of gelatin.
