Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Does anyone have a recipe for cranberry sauce which will keep in a sterilised jar for longer than 2 weeks & not need a fridge or freezer to store it before it's opened? A friend has asked for a jar along with some apple & cranberry chutney & onion marmalade which are both made, but I'm a little reticent about doing the cranberry sauce & it not storing well............I'd have thought it would be ok if bottled as normal, just need some experienced advice please Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Sorry Sha - I keep mine in the freezer........perhaps if you treat it like bottled fruit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I do one every year - cranberries, orange rind and juice and port and brown sugar - I made it up after tasting similar and it keeps due to the port and its boiled like a jam = once opened store in the fridge.

Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Mmm sounds like I need to buy a bottle of port then Or give it to her in a freezer bag to open when she needs it Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I made some before last Christmas. Mine is still okay, although my mums, which was from the same batch, went a bit mouldy. I have kept it in the fridge. I am guessing it kept so long as it was boiled for a tad too long. Its a little stiff when trying to get some out of the jar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Its a little stiff when trying to get some out of the jar ........so if you dropped the jar you wouldn't have to worry about glass going everywhere, it would just stick together & bounce..........

Chucky Mama Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I've made some with port, sugar and clementines. I have half in the fridge and half in the freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
