Ingredients

• 1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
• 1 can (12 ounces) frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed

Step 1

In a 3 quart microwave-safe dish, combine cranberries and apple juice concentrate; cover with waxed paper. Microwave on high for 6 to
7-1/2 minutes or until most of the berries have popped. Immediately stir in gelatin powder until dissolved. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
