  🦃 Jam maker and cranberry farm owner Berry Sweet is hosting her family's annual Thanksgiving when the dinner's most contentious relative—a notorious food traditionalist opposed to recipe changes—is found dead in the pantry, a jar of suspicious cranberry sauce shattered around her. The police suspect an allergic reaction, but Berry notices the cranberry sauce has been deliberately over-sweetened and the victim's family recipe cards contain coded notes about ingredient substitutions. With her family gathering turning sour and generations of tradition at stake, Berry must strain through family secrets to find the truth. Assisted by her canning club friends and the handsome food chemist analyzing pectin levels, Berry uncovers a scheme involving recipe forgery, fruit substitution, and a plot to alter family culinary legacy. From suspicious gel points that reveal improper cooking to sugar content that doesn't match heirloom recipes, every jiggly spoonful tells a story. But when Berry discovers the victim was systematically altering family recipes to cut out certain relatives from inheriting culinary secrets, she realizes the killer is protecting family unity more precious than any preserved fruit. With Thanksgiving dinner imminent and the real recipe forger still stirring the pot, Berry must set the truth before her family's traditions get permanently canned.
