Tropical Cranberry Jelly!

together-munchkin-eating-foodHello to y’all who are running around like headless chickens trying to find a can of cranberry jelly for Thanksgiving Day tomorrow.  I have found the perfect substitute.  It is made from a fruit that we have coined “sour peach” which grows here in the Belize.  It has a lovely peachy aroma but once you bite into it, you start pulling funny faces because it is sooooo sour!

Sour Peach aka Eugenia spicata:

When the yellow fruit cooks, it becomes a beautiful red colour.  There is a lot of pectin in this fruit so it sets up nicely.
