Jam Disaster!!
Having bought just over three pounds of cranberries for just over £1.00 I thought I was going to make some Cranberry Jam. I found a recipe on the internet but sadly for me it didn't work well and the jam wouldn't set properly.
Embee very kindly went off to the supermarket to get me some liquid pectin. I ended up using the whole bottle and it still, in my opinion, remained too runny. I decided to bottle it and let it cool and see what it's like tomorrow.
Anyone fancy some tasty cranberry sauce! I think it would go very well with vanilla icecream, I might even try this tomorrow!!

I used to make cranberry jelly as a Christmas gift but I cheated and started out with the juice!
I like your idea of making this a sauce...it would probably be lovely over angel food cake, too.
Chris I was going to suggest stirring it through ice cream. You could also mix it with yogurt and fruit for a smoothie, over porridge in place of sugar or honey.
I have not tried to make jam before. I have the jars and everything ready and still have not had a go! I think you can still eat the jam runny. We bought Cherry Jam before and it was runny but nice.
no no no no..wait. it will set.
I felt the same way about my grape jelly -- and then later it was too hard.
Three pounds of cranberries for just over a £1 is pretty good value. When I made the jam I spent €20 on the cranberries alone (2kg).
Listen to Pamela...it may just sit up in a few days. If not at least you can use it for sauce. All is not lost!
I'm sure it'll come good for you!!!
oh on icecream it will be just perfect and a great excuse to eat more icecream :)
