Okay, here goes:
2c sugar
2c water
2 bags cranberries
2 boxes orange jello (8 oz or 1 16oz box)
1. Get all ingredients together, including 3 pint-sized mason jars with lids.
2. In a large saucepan, mix sugar into water and pour in the two bags of cranberries.
3. Over high heat, boil until you hear the cranberries pop. (Yep, when they're done, they pop!)
4. Remove from heat and add both boxes of orange jello. Stir well to incorporate the jello into the sauce. (Sauce will be thin)
5. Spoon into mason jars, filling each well. (If you have enouch for another jar, go for it, but I never do. All I usually have left is some of the "juice")
6. Put lids on the jars fingertight. (Not overly "I need a jackhammer and a miracle" tight) Place in large canning pot, cover the jars with water and set on high heat until boiling. You should see little bubbles emerging from the jars. Boil for about 5 minutes. (You may hear a jar "pop" closed in the process. Good, thyat's what you want.)
7. Remove jars and place on a counter to dry and cool. As the jars cool, you may hear "pop" sounds. That's the jar's lid sealing itself.
8. Refrigerate if you want, but I just stick 'em in a cupboard. They keep for about a year.
