Was sweetened or unsweetened cranberry juice used?

I am very excited to make this, as I imagine cranberry jelly is going to be similar to a red currant jelly or a crabapple jelly. I hope I'm right. I was curious if the cranberry juice was sweetened or unsweetened? Does anyone know?

This year I used this recipe to try making cranberry jelly for the first time, but I made a few changes as we have had quite an orange harvest so I made cranberry orange jelly. In the first batch I kept everything the same but added the zest and juice of one orange. I thought it was a little tart but my husband loved it. The second batch I added another 1/2 cup of sugar and it tasted just right to me. I used 4 oz. jars to make more and gave them away to family and friends for Christmas.
