HIGHBUSH CRANBERRY JELLY WITH LIQUID PECTIN
Common in Western Canada, highbush cranberries are not technically cranberries, but are part of the honeysuckle family. While the small red berries are too tart to eat on their own, they do make a wonderful jelly. Use this recipe if you have a bush growing in your backyard.
