Crock-Pot Cranberry Jelly Recipe
Can up some homemade cranberry jelly with this easy and simple recipe. Fresh cranberries, sugar and water are cooked in the slow cooker until cooked and juicy. Then sure-gel is added and everything is cooked on the stove-top until you have jelly which can then be canned in jars for long term food storage.

Day 2:
- Add juice to large cooking pan. (stove not crock-pot)
- Bring juice to a boil and add sure jell.

Hi,
Can you please tell me if sure jell is the same as Pectin? And How much one package is? It’s hard to get in the Netherlands and only pectin in 1 kg. packages! I’ve searched for a very long time and finally found one online store that did sell it. So….sure-jell’s not available here.
Wil you please give me some advice what to do ? Thanks in advance!
Wish you have a fantastic day.
P.S. Will you send me answer by mail please? I would be very gratefull!
Hi Marja, Sure Jell is pectin. And the packages come in 1.5 to 2 ounce sizes here in the states.
If you can get fruit pectin in the Netherlands I would use 0.001 kg of that. That should work I think in this recipe.
Best of luck!
I have a large can of whole berry cranberry sauce, can this be used to make jelly?
Hi Karen, I don’t know if using whole berry cranberry sauce will work in this recipe.
