Small Batch Brandied Cranberry Conserve Canning Recipes

SMALL-BATCH CRANBERRY MAPLE BUTTER (CANNING)

Steps:

• Combine cranberries and apple juice in a medium non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 5 minutes until cranberries pop, stirring frequently.
• Remove from heat and cool slightly, then puree mixture in a food processor until smooth. Press through a sieve and discard seeds. Return sieved mixture to saucepan, add maple syrup, honey, and cinnamon and simmer, uncovered, ten minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Ladle into hot jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

BAKED CRANBERRY ORANGE BRIE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to about 400 degrees.
• Place cranberries in a large bowl and add the zest of an orange, the juice of the same orange, a large splash (about 2 tablespoons) of real maple syrup, and a large pinch of rosemary. Mix thoroughly.
• Pour about half of cranberry mixture onto center of oven-safe serving dish (I use a glass pie pan). Place the brie round on top of the pile, then pour the remaining mixture over the top of the brie. Place this in the oven and remove when the cranberries are soft and perhaps just starting to burst, and the brie is warmed through (about 15-20 minutes).
• Consume--spoons may help.
