Cranberry preserves
The idea of making cranberry preserves originated in America, where they came up with the idea of complementing the tart berry with sweet and fragrant oranges. As a result, thanks to the presence of a large amount of pectin in citrus fruits, the result is not so much the usual jam, but its overseas version – confiture (or marmalade). If you add oranges to the dessert along with the peel, you can get not only a denser, jelly-like consistency, but also pleasantly textured pieces of candied fruit inside.
