Is the gelatin powder necessary? The product is not organic.
Danielle
Yes, in order to achieve the correct consistency the gelatin is necessary. You can try agar agar if you would rather find that product that works for you. This is the gelatin I like to use, and it is non-gmo, but I understand if it doesn’t work for you. https://amzn.to/2Iqj0ab

Could you strain the skins through a mesh sieve? I would think before gelatin…

Can you use pectin instead of gelatin?

This is the BEST cranberry sauce. It is so easy to make and my kids love it too. My 19 year old niece who is in culinary school said it is phenomenal! And her twin brother said it was his favorite food of the day after going to 4 dinners!!!
