What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide the main fruit flavor and tartness, and their pectin helps the mixture set as it cools.
- Granulated sugar
- Sweetens the cranberries and, with the fruit's pectin, helps the mixture thicken and set.
The step that matters
Cook without stirring. Stirring during the boil can break up the cranberries and make the jelly cloudy. Covered cooking traps steam so the fruit softens evenly while the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens for setting.
