Cranberry Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh cranberries, washed and picked over
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 strip orange peel
- 1 strip lemon peel

- 5 ounce jar Hot pepper jelly to taste
Directions:
Place fresh or frozen cranberries into a saucepan. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 strip orange and 1 strip of lemon zest along with the water to the pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft, about 10 minutes.
