Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1 can (398 ml) whole berry cranberry sauce

1 jar (375 ml) hot pepper relish

3/4 cups red wine vinegar (aged is nicer)

2 cups white sugar

85 ml (1 packet) liquid pectin

Method:

– Combine the following in a large stove-top pot; cranberry sauce, relish, red wine vinegar and sugar.

– Place on stove and keep stirring on med-high until this comes to a full boil.

– Boil hard for 3 minutes.

– Add liquid pectin. Boil hard for 1 minute.

– Remove from heat but keep stirring about 5 minutes to keep cranberries and peppers from floating to the top.

– Pour the jelly into individual serving bowls or jars and let cool.

– If you decide to pour the jelly into serving bowls, so that you are ready for unexpected guests it keeps for 6 weeks in the fridge. If you are canning the jelly, it’s the perfect gift!

This makes about 4 cups.
