Ingredients

  • 12 cups cranberries about 2 ¾ lbs rinsed, fresh whole
  • 6 cups red onion chopped
  • 4 large Serrano peppers seeded, stemmed and diced
  • 1 ½ cup apple cider vinegar at least 5%
  • 1 ½ cup water
  • 1 ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp canning salt
  • 6 tbsp honey light, like clover honey

Instructions

  • Wash and rinse six pint sized canning jars, keeping them hot until ready for use. Prepare the lids according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • In a large Dutch oven, combine all the ingredients except the cranberries. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat slightly and boil gently for five minutes.
  • Add the cranberries, reduce the heat again, and simmer the mixture for twenty minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  • Spoon the hot mixture into clean, hot pint jars, leaving a quarter inch of headspace. Keep the saucepan over low heat while you fill the jars.
  • Use a non-metallic utensil to remove air bubbles, then adjust the headspace if needed.
  • Wipe the rims of the jars with a dampened, clean paper towel, then apply the two-piece metal canning lids.
  • Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude as needed.
  • Let the jars cool undisturbed for 24 hours. After cooling, check the seals, label the jars, and store them in a cool, dark place.

Notes

High elevation canning times are 15 minutes for 1,000 to 6,000 feet, and 20 minutes if over 6,000 feet.
