What each ingredient does
- Cranberries
- Provide tart flavor and natural pectin, which helps the jelly firm up as it sets.
- Crushed sugar
- Sweetens the jelly and helps bind water so the mixture sets into a firm gel.
The step that matters
Cook until the cranberries are soft. The berries must be cooked thoroughly to release their pectin and juice. Undercooked fruit can leave the jelly weak, while overcooking can dull the flavor and affect the final set.
