MOM'S THANKSGIVING CRANBERRY JELLO MOLD



Mom's Thanksgiving Cranberry Jello Mold image

A MUST for us! A neighbor in Omaha had given this to my Mom in the early'60's and she has made it every Thanksgiving since. Now I make the holiday, so I make the mold! It's very easy. Keep in mind that this has walnuts just in case you have guests who are allergic to nuts. Enjoy! *You can make this 2 days before serving so I will make it on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and keep it in the mold in the refrigerator and just unmold it before serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Time 8h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for mold
1 1/2 pounds fresh or thawed frozen cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 cup fresh orange juice (from 3 to 4 oranges), strained
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon unflavored powdered gelatin (from two 1/4-ounce envelopes)

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a 1-quart nonreactive mold or a few smaller molds. Combine cranberries, sugar, zest, orange juice, lemon juice, and 1 cup water in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and are completely softened, 12 to 15 minutes. Pass mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, gently pressing on solids (pressing too hard will make the mixture cloudy). Skim any foam from surface; cover to keep warm.
  • Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water in a bowl; let soften 1 minute. Stir gelatin mixture into warm cranberry mixture until gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour mixture into mold and refrigerate until set, at least 8 hours.
  • Dip top of mold into a bowl of hot water 30 seconds, then run a paring knife around edge to loosen. Place a serving platter on bottom of mold; quickly invert platter and mold together. Tap to release; remove mold. (If gelatin doesnâ??t release easily, return to hot water for a few seconds.)
