We live about 100 miles from Cape Cod, which is known for its cranberries. When we spent a weekend there, we toured the Cranberry World Visitors Center, which is where I found this recipe. When I made it for our fellowship group at church, everyone wanted the recipe. You'll be surprised it's so easy to make with just four ingredients.

EXTREME CRANBERRY MOUSSE



Extreme Cranberry Mousse image

This makes a wonderful make-ahead holiday dessert that can be spooned into a prepared graham cracker crust, or into individual 3-inch tart shells lined with a graham cracker crust. I like to use half package each of the cranberry gelatin and the raspberry, it really gives the moussse a great flavor, but that is optional. I suggest to use only Ocean Spray Juice Cocktail and jellied cranberry sauce, I made this with alternative products and the taste was just not as good. If you are using tall thin dessert glasses you should get 7-8 but it will depend on the size of your serving glasses, so yield is only estimated. Prep time includes chilling time.
