Spiked Jellied Cranberry Sauce image

Add a shot of cheer to your jellied cranberry sauce--your holiday guests will thank you! This version, spiked with vodka, is super easy to make ahead and looks just like its nonalcoholic cousin, so be sure to keep it away from the kids' table!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     condiment

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 to 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup vodka
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau
One 14-ounce can jellied cranberry sauce
Cooking spray

Steps:

  • Put the gelatin in a small bowl, and pour the vodka and liqueur over it. Let sit until the gelatin is completely soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, transfer the cranberry sauce to a small saucepan. Rinse out the can, dry it and coat the inside with cooking spray. Heat the sauce over medium-low heat; once it starts to bubble, whisk it vigorously until it's completely smooth with no lumps (the sauce will darken and have a slight sheen). Remove the pan from the heat, add the softened gelatin and all the liquid, and stir until incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared can.
  • Let the cranberry sauce sit at room temperature until the can is just warm to the touch. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
  • To serve, run a small knife around the lip of the can to release the cranberry sauce slightly, then turn the can carefully under running hot water (don't get water in the can). Invert the can onto a cutting board, and firmly tap until the sauce unmolds in 1 piece. Lay the sauce on its side on a serving plate, and cut into 6 or 7 slices.

DRUNKEN CRANBERRY SAUCE



Drunken Cranberry Sauce image

This is my absolute favorite cranberry sauce recipe. I grew up eating the cranberries out of the can (or should I say avoiding them completely because they're pointless), and then I discovered there's more to cranberries than that jellied version of cranbery sauce. Don't stress about the alcohol because it's only for flavor. You won't really get drunk from this recipe unless you're drinking something while you make it.

CREPES WITH RASPBERRY-CASSIS SAUCE



Crepes With Raspberry-Cassis Sauce image

These sophisticated crepes can be made ahead of time and reheated in a low-temperature oven. The sauce, made by simmering raspberries in a rose-scented, cassis-spiked syrup, is what makes them special. While most of it is poured over the folded crepes, a bit is added to the yogurt, honey and lime filling, making it just sweet enough.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters low-fat milk, such as skim or 1 percent
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon/15 grams sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/55 grams unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/55 grams whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour, sifted
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus butter for the pan
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest (from about 1/2 lime)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon rose water
1 6-ounce box raspberries (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 tablespoon crème de cassis liqueur
1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters plain Greek yogurt (2 percent fat)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon mild honey, such as clover or acacia (more to taste)
1 1/4 teaspoons finely grated lime zest (from about 1/2 lime)
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice (to taste)
1 6-ounce box raspberries (about 1 1/4 cups)
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • To make crepe batter, place milk, eggs, salt and sugar in blender. Turn on and, with the motor running, add flours, then melted butter and blend at high speed for 1 minute, until well mixed and smooth. Transfer to a bowl, stir in lime zest, cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes. If resting batter longer, refrigerate. (Whisk again before making crepes.)
  • While batter is resting, make raspberry sauce. Combine 1/3 cup water and sugar in small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in rose water, raspberries and cassis liqueur. Return to heat, bring to a simmer, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the mixture into a bowl. Press the raspberry pulp through strainer with a spatula and discard seeds. Whisk or stir to blend pulp and syrup and set aside.
  • Make the yogurt filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, honey, lime zest and juice. Taste and adjust sweetness. Set aside.
  • To make crepes, heat 8-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet over medium-high heat and brush lightly with butter. Pan must be hot when you add crepe batter. Lift pan off heat and pour or ladle in a scant 1/4 cup batter, enough to thinly coat bottom of pan. Tilt and swirl pan to distribute batter in an even layer. Return pan to heat and cook crepe for about 1 minute, until edges color and bottom of crepe is lightly browned. Crepe should not stick to pan. Flip crepe over and cook for 30 seconds on the other side, until speckled. Turn out onto a plate. Continue with remaining batter, brushing pan occasionally with butter if desired.
  • If you want to serve crepes at their hottest, assemble them as they come out of the pan. Spread a rounded tablespoon of the yogurt mixture over each crepe, drizzle on 1/2 teaspoon raspberry sauce, fold crepe in half and then in half again. Place on plate or platter. When all crepes are made and filled, spoon or pour sauce over, garnish with raspberries, and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar. Serve.

SPICED ORANGE CRANBERRY SAUCE



Spiced Orange Cranberry Sauce image

This recipe was graciously shared with me by a Jamaican friend, many years ago. It makes a delicious sauce, different from any other cranberry sauce I've ever tasted or made. It does not "gel" but you do want to cook it long enough to make a good, thick consistency. You can use 1 tablespoon of excellent quality ground cinnamon instead of the cinnamon stick, if you prefer. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • To make the sauce ahead of time, prepare it up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, reheat it over low heat until warmed through.
  • Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature. It's delicious on turkey, chicken, pork, or ham. You can also use it as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
  • If you don't have cassis liqueur, you can substitute another type of orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
  • If you want a sweeter sauce, add more sugar to taste. You can also add a little bit of maple syrup or honey.
  • If you want a spicier sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or ground cloves.
  • Garnish the sauce with fresh cranberries, orange zest, or chopped walnuts before serving.

Conclusion:

This cassis-spiked cranberry sauce is the perfect addition to your holiday table. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. With its bright and tangy flavor, this sauce is the perfect complement to any roasted meat or poultry.
