ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa, it was!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura. I think I added the button to Back to the Basics and forgot to add to Mary's Kitchen. It gets hectic running 3 websites AND finishing up a cookbook. I'll definitely stop by again!
Thank you for linking to the Our Favorite Things Link Party.

Your jelly looks so delicious. I've never canned before but I remember my mom and aunt canning all the time when I was growing up. I'm a bit afraid to try. Maybe this recipe is a good place to start.

Karri, this is the FIRST recipe I made and canned. It was a complete success. I was a bit scared to try canning but I was pleasantly surprised and how simple it was. This recipe is pretty basic. I made the recipe around Thanksgiving so cranberries were on sale everywhere.
DeleteThis combination sounds delicious and when the cranberries come in, an economical jelly to make.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your recipe.
YUM -- cranberries and apricots sound like the perfect pair :)

ReplyDeleteTALU!
I have no idea why, and as soon as I try it, I'll probably kick myself for waiting so long, but canning has always intimidated me for some reason. I'm afraid of doing it "wrong" and poisoning someone LOL. If I make pickles or jelly or anything like that, I only make it in small batches to keep in the fridge. For some reason, I don't think I've ever seen the combination of apricots and cranberries, but that sounds awesome!! [#TALU]
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Just stopping by from Anne's TALU and really enjoyed your blog and the recipe...thanks!
