Cranberry is a unique berry. It is rich in antioxidants that slow down the aging process. Cranberry juice is a good anti-zinc agent. For colds, sore throat use berries with honey. Curative properties of cranberries are explained by the presence of organic acids and vitamins. Berries contain pectins and minerals (potassium, calcium, phosphorus, tellurium, manganese, iodine), as well as benzoic acid, which enhances the action of antibiotics. Cranberries are a good side dish for many dishes, they are used to make drinks, jams, and sweets.

Jelly
After washing and washing the cranberries, I knead them with wooden pulp in non-oxidizing dishes. Squeeze the juice and put it in the fridge.
I pour the pulp with hot water and cook in a closed container at a low boil for 5-10 minutes. In the filtered broth, add sugar and soaked gelatin, stir the mixture until it is completely dissolved and bring to a boil. I pour the pressed juice into this sugar-gelatin syrup, then filter the mixture, cool it to 15-20 ° and pour it into molds. If necessary, lighten egg white.
