Cranberry Jelly Recipe

And what's even more, cranberries are widely recognized as being one of natures super foods.

Packed full of beneficial anti-oxidants and Vitamin C, not only do they taste great, they’re fabulously healthy for you too.

If you are able buy your cranberries in bulk when they are in season (which is between September and December) you can quite SAFELY FREEZE them.

Simply place the cranberries (without pre-washing) into a plastic bag and pop in the freezer. Frozen cranberries will last up to a year!
