This instant pot cranberry jelly is going to knock your socks off! Nat made it at Thanksgiving and it was a hit with her whole family.
Cranberry jelly is the perfect condiment to have around the kitchen at Christmas time. The sweetness of the jelly makes this a great spread on toast, English muffins, and other breads.
But then the tartness of the cranberries and orange juice really give it a kick! The combo of sweet and tart of this jellied cranberry sauce will be unlike anything you can buy in a store.
Cranberry jelly makes a great small gift to accompany a gift card. Store the cranberry jelly in mason jars, wrap it with a festive ribbon, and attach your gift card to the lid. Most people just love a gift card to Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Target, and Amazon, and a special homemade gift of this cranberry jelly recipe will be the icing on the cake!
This is a great gift for teachers, coaches, therapists, your mail carrier, really ANYONE who would enjoy a homemade, delicious gift.
Here’s a party appetizer idea: pour the jelly over a brick of cream cheese and serve with crackers. I’ve done this before with pepper jelly and it’s to die for!
