Thank you for the videos Heather. I've discovered that learning to can is a wonderful way to fight back at anxiety. Have made your: apple pie filling, onion jam, another batch of apple pie filling, modified by dicing the apples instead of slices (for strudels, desserts, and for adding to homemade muffins etc). Also made the pear butter recipe. Just made brown sugar last night for the onion jam. My husband was, um, skeptical, thinking that it would be "different". (Ya THINK? LOL!) And now that he's seen it in action, he's hooked. Lol. Just brought home ingredients for your Christmas jam, and blueberry anything, and more apple pie filling to send out to family for Christmas. I love your recipes, just wanted you to know that you're helping many people to continue to change their lives for the better, including helping me fight back against anxiety. I wish I'd have discovered your channel sooner, before the accident. But, here we are, and I just want to say thank you for teaching us so much.

Just found your channel when Pam @roseredhomestead shared information about the wreck. I have been watching continuously and even though I used to can with my mother who's now 93 and have waterbathed canned for yeasrs, you have taught me several things I didn't know. We are never to old to learn and you are an excellentteacher. As a widow I know the pain of loosing a spouse. My prayers 🙏🙏🙏 are with you and your family at this time. Looking forward to when you start making video's again when God tells you the time is right.

Going to can up 6 bags of cranberries today per your recipe Heather. Sterilizing my pint jars now and cranberries are thawing out. Have had them in freezer for some time. Love me some cranberry sauce.. yum Will put the orange juice and zest in it too. Thanks for posting your recipe and I do hope you are still healing. I know it has been hard and how much you must miss Matt. Wish I could help you. God is still Good. ☺♥

Just tried this recipe with a couple of changes: Substituted the 6 C sugar for 3 Cups of plain sugar + 2 Cups Packed Brown Sugar. (It sounds odd, but it kicked it up a couple of octaves). Plus I added 1 Tsp of Ground Allspice. Wow...the family went nuts over it. The BS gives it a deep richness and the spice, a touch of that holiday feeling. It made 18 1/2 pints. I just took the Orange Cranberry Cheese Turnovers I made out of the oven. They smell heavenly.

I bought 18 bags after the holidays for .25/bag! I use them to make cranberry juice concentrate and cranberry sauce. Yum!

This was such a hit that hubby went Iiuy and bought 12 more bags of cranberries. Yeah, you heard me right...12 MORE BAGS! Think I will be in the kitchen a lot longer but oh how beautiful they will look on my shelf.

I made this and it was awesome. The only thing I did different was to process two oranges including the rind, and add it to the mix!! It was awesome and hubby loved it!! Thanks for the recipe!!

I love watching you can. You are so clean about it. I have watched others and I cringe when I see some of the things they do. keep up the good teaching. love from Colorado

Heather, just love your recipe for cranberries with orange!! I just got my Ball water bath canner in the mail and I think this sounds like a great first canning experience. Thanks for sharing and being my muse and my information source in all thins canning and bread baking!!!

Be blessed. Sending lots of love and support. Praying for you and your family. Big hugs.

I just watched this again, as I’m making some now. Sweet Mason was just SO PRECIOUS! You guys have been through so much since this video was made, and God has been faithful through it all.

Just made 15 pints of this so yummy ! Love cranberry sauce. I’ll have it for the whole year now. No chemicals in it.

Heather I just made this with the oranges too. I also added grated ginger zest with the orange and did half brown sugar and half white sugar. I even added some finely chopped apples. amazing. thank you.

Thanks Heather! You make it look so easy and so much fun. I cant quite start canning yet but when i do i will have you right by my side! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Cranberry is so good as a side with chicken and rice. Yumm!! Praying for you and your family, Heather.

Heather I found your recipe today. I have followed you for years, I was looking for a cranberry orange sauce to be able to can. I'm so thankful I found this. Happy Thanksgiving, 2023.

Started watching your videos after "canning surfing" on RU-vid after you moved. Now I'm bing watching the videos before and love seeing your sweet child's smile enjoying your labor of love.! Priceless!

I just tried this OMG it's awesome! Thank you and sending prayers for a fast recovery.

I love to use 2 cups of orange juice.... 1 cup of sugar.... 1 bag of local cranberries which is Ocean Spray.... There is a local farm :) zest of orange and cook for 10 mins then I add 1 pint of raspberries :). LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !!!!!

Your Orange Cranberry Sauce looks so yummy. Thank you for sharing it with us. God Bless You and Your Family.

I just love the combination of orange and cranberry! Just seems so Christmassy! 💕

Orange and cranberry is one of the best combinations!!! Yum!!! Your son is just the cutest ever!! Such a sweet blessing 💕

Yay! I love making this with OJ too! Someone made some the same way but at a Christmas gathering she put a bit of Allspice in it and it makes it taste more Christmas-y! A bit deeper and nice for special occasions.

I love homemade canned cranberries. Totally over the top. So easy Peasy and great flavor. I like your add in of oranges. I will be adding that to my next batch. Thanks for that! Thank you for adding the recipe.

I made/canned cranberry sauce for the first time this year. Love it!

I make my cranberry sauce almost like yours and yes adding the orange juice just makes it off the charts delicious. I don't cook mine down all the way and at the end before I put it in the jar I add mandarin oranges and diced apples or pares and there has been a few times that I added raisins to the mix.

I make cranberry relish all year long. When they are in season I freeze 20-30 bags so that I have them all year. This looks awesome, I want to can some and have it ready on the shelf! Thanks for the video.

I am a new subbie and I love your channel. My grandmother taught me to can and I love it. I have gotten so much inspiration from watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to do them.

Your son is adorable. Thank you for the recipe and canning demo - I've never canned before but want to try. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. GOD bless.

looks great ,Mason does a good job tasting what you make.

Enjoyed this video. Your little taste tester was feeling the tang in his jaws. He kept putting his hands up to them, he is so precious. Look forward to more videos. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless you and your family.

Hi Heather! I'm in Michigan as well. Battle Creek. I have made several of your bread recipes and I love them!! I was new to cooking homemade , and you made me feel like I should give it a try. I'm so glad I did ! I look forward to your videos. Happy Thanks giving to your family :)

I'm definitely going to try this! Loved watching Mason taste it! Reminds me of my daughter who is 4. She likes to help me cook and can and one day I will pass on the knowledge to her. Good times! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

This is a great idea. I love making cranberry sauce but never thought of making in larger batches to can!

Great video. You are a natural teacher. I will be giving this a try. Thank you 💙

What a little doll, Sampling Mom's cranberry sauce, Thank you for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm so making this!! Can't wait for fall so I can get the cranberries at the store! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks you so much for this video. You little guy is so cute and he loves your jelly!😊☘️💚

I have always made cranberry sauce with oranges. Back in the 70s and 80s the oceanspray brand had a recipe on it that you did not cook. I have always made it that way. Maybe I will try this recipe. 😃 😊. God bless you and your family 👪 🙏 ❤️

HAVE A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Love the video too!!!

Oh yes! please do..that would be so helpful , to myself as well as others, I'm sure....thank you so very much!

Made homemade for the first time a couple years ago. Never liked the canned stuff! I used orange and cinnamon it was so good! I’m going to can it this year !

My favorite! I want to try cranberry/lime/jalapeno. I like it all year long also.

Beautiful! I will definitely try this. Mason is so CUTE! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Thank you for sharing.

Your son is precious!

I have been shopping all day for Thanksgivingnand only have fro pick up my Honeybaked ham tomorrow but oh, wait! Heather just posted a beautiful mouth-watering cranberry orange sauce that I HAVE to make so have to stop for cranberries and oranges. Thank you!

Love your cooking and your sweet heart. God bless you

Wow this looks so good!

Just letting u know I made this last year and gave away to friends n family and it was the biggest hit! I’m back doing it again! ❤

Too cute!!!!!!! You are blessed.

Aww look how precious Mason is here!!

That really looks fantastic. Linda made an awesome Raspbenero jam and I would like to place an order for one of your jams and one of hers lol. Yum

Phenomenal! Thanks for sharing!

I canned 24 pints yesterday of cranberry apple relish. Delicious. :-) Thanks for the video Heather. Blessings! :-) Lori

great job! Mason, is too cute!

I just got my Jersey fresh cranberries and I’d like to can them like my nana used to do. I just don’t quit remember how she did it. Thank you for your help.

Mmmm I made this for presents, I had to top up with cherries as it didn't make enough and cranberries not cheap in UK, it was so yummy! this is on the list for next year as its all gone already! off to make your onion soup now!

Love watching are to watch how make cranberry juice

thanks for making it look so easy...ive never made homemade cranberry sauce and i thought it was really hard so i wasnt going to make it for thanksgiving but now i will attempt it!! thanks so much xoxo from california!!

It doesn't last in my house. We use it on tofurkey sandwich. PB&J, I have even put it in BBQ sauce. I have also used it to w soy sauce to marinate tofu. I use the exact same recipe. I put it over vanilla ice cream once & it was great. I have also added it to a sweet bread & muffins. Thanks for the white cranberry tip. I didn't know that. I buy mine before Thanksgiving but here in the south they put it on sale after. That when I stock up. It goes in the freezer till I can can some more. Great vid!

Man, I want to come live at your house soooooo bad!! You are so much fun to watch and I am inspired to try new things all the time. I hope you and your family have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!

Hillshire Farms has this cranberry mustard, my family loves it, but its too expensive. So I came up with a copycat recipe, I had to make it twice last year. Now I cant find the recipe I wrote down LOL. It tastes amazing on some summer sausage. My husband and I love it chunky and saucy, so I make 1 pot saucy and 1 pot chunky then mix them.

I couldn't get fresh cranberry, but I did get dryed cranberry. It turned out absolutely amazing. I did dehydrate the cranberry though. But followed your receipe. So delicious. Thanku for the amazing receipe.😁

Thanks for sharing! Using the orange juice is a super idea! I'll be making this tomorrow!

Love this jam I'm making it. I did make cranberry relish similar but so adorable your Son 💙

I get something called "cranberry orange salad" from Gordon Foods. They only have it at Thanksgiving, usually all sold out in a week. I like to have it at Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners. It has larger, and more pieces of the orange pulp and rind. its served cold and its awesome. The cranberries are halved and not cooked down as much as yours. I think I'll give it a try and alter your recipe just a smidge. I found a place that I can now buy my own cranberry plants, so I want to give it a go at growing my own. My dog and I like them dehydrated too, craisins, great for you & a wonderful snack. Thank you for the basic recipe.

Thanks for the recipe. You have the most adorable child in the world! 😍

Yum looks and sounds delicious

I love cranberry-orange sauce. I bought sweet potatoes for $.29 a lb. so I have been canning too

Love your videos! Am going to make this. Love everything about homemaking don't you? What a cute little guy you have💕

Sending much love and many prayers.

Love it's and thank you for sharing 😍😍😍😍

looks yummy I've got to make this. ... thank you xx

Rave reviews from my family!!!! Thank you

YAH***** ANOTHER GREAT NEW* CANNING RECIPE , I must .missed this one .I have never made cranberry sauce and I LOVE Cranberries, so THANK YOU for sharing . Only thing is I wonder if I can still find them this late in the season, I want to Cann this ASAP , LOL. Also I want to share a recipe I use in the winter, and on those winter dys. when need a little help when not feeling well I may use the this Recipe as a fixer upper. Another way of making a hot tottie , you can do this the children way, great warned up to sooth the throat, or warm up with Brandy. I add a 1/2 cup Brandy being it is just the hubbs and me, and refrigerate it, then when I want a little sip I warm it a bit so just store it in the fridge. When the KUDS need some I make a separate batch. Plus I make these Beetle Cider ahead a time wrap up and store in a tightly sealed container, so all I have to do later is drip one in a pit when ready to make a batch . I have also given these away wrapped with saran wrap and red ribbon and a note card attached with instructions, on the holidays. Here is the link: www.food.com/recipe/cider-beetles-137885

hello I am binge watching!

Beautiful!

Thanks for this video. I’m glad I found your channel. I’ve been used to making cranberry relish (the cooked kind, not raw) since the late 80’s, but haven’t canned yet. My recipe isn’t really a canning recipe, and is more like a chutney with orange juice, raisins and apples, too. Just no nuts, nor onions. Any tips as to whether or not I can “Water bath Can” my recipe. Thank you in advance.

hello new to your channel, I made this it was delicious thank you for sharing😁

looks awesome!!

I love this and all your videos everytime I want to can something I go right to your site please can you leave a link to your canning set I just love it ,cant find that one hugs and blessings 😇🙏❤
