Ingredients
12 ounces fresh cranberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 packet (about 2 1/4 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin powder
Optional: 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, and water measured with measuring cups. Use a silicone spatula to stir.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with the silicone spatula, until cranberries burst.
3. While cooking, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1/4 cup cold water in a small mixing bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat. Gradually add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cranberry sauce, using a wire whisk to combine until fully dissolved.
5. Pour the mixture into a serving dish or mold. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firmly set.
6. To serve, run an offset spatula around the edges of the mold to loosen. Invert onto a plate and tap gently to release the cranberry sauce.
Notes
Avoid adding fresh pineapple, kiwi, or papaya as they contain enzymes that prevent gelatin from setting.
Serve chilled. Garnish with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
