Ours was thick too. I think it has to do with how long the cranberries and sugar cook. Nonetheless we waited the 3 days, removed the cinnamon sticks, added 1 cup of cranberry juice cocktail and puréed and strained the mixture. It was good. If you have to thin I think using a juice is the way to go so as not to dilute flavor.
The directions state to purée the mixture but it’s much too thick, despite multiple strainings. I had to add water to thin it out. I won’t be making this again but I admit it is tasty.
This is amazing! It is such a festive Holiday treat - and so easy! Makes a great gift. Love it!!
