This recipe is from Dr. BBQ, Ray Lampe, who says “why serve cranberries in a jelly when you can just drink them?” This is the perfect starter for a holiday dinner, and if your significant other isn’t looking, add some vodka to this creation. This recipe is from Ray’s book, Dr. BBQ’s Barbecue All Year Long! cookbook.
In a saucepan, cook the cranberries in 2 cups of water until they pop. Strain through a fine sieve, reserving the juice and discarding the skins. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, pepper jelly, cloves, and 1 quart of water. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the orange and lemon juices and reserved cranberry juice; and heat thorough. Remove the cloves and serve hot.
