Categories     Sauces

Time 12h

Yield 3 cups (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 (12 ounce) bags cranberries (frozen or fresh, thaw if frozen)
3 1/4 cups white sugar (for a less sweeter taste reduce sugar by 3-4 tablespoons)
3 1/3 cups cold water, divided
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (or use three 1/4-ounce envelopes)
2 drops red food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan combine the cranberries, sugar and 3 cups water (set the remaining 1/3 cup water to use later) bring to a boil stirring to dissolve the sugar granules.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer stirring occasionally until all the cranberries have "burst" (this should take about 15 minutes).
  • Pour the mixture into a large fine-mesh sieve and set over a large heat-proof bowl (I use my large Pyrex measuring cup) allow to drain for about 1 hour forcing the mixture through the strainer occasionally with a spoon to speed up the process).
  • Strain until there is 3 cups of juice, then discard the solids.
  • In a small bowl stir together the gelatin and 1/3 cup cold water; let stand for 2 minutes.
  • Bring only 1 cup of the drained cranberry liquid to a simmer in a small saucepan; remove from heat.
  • Add the gelatin/water mixture to the 1 cup of hot cranberry liquid and stir until completely combined.
  • Pour the gelatin mixture into the remaining 2 cups of cranberrry liquid; stir until well combined.
  • Pour the cranberry liquid into a large glass bowl or a lightly greased mold.
  • Cool to room temerature.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 12-24 hours.
  • DELICIOUS!

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

a 12-ounce bag of cranberries, picked over
2 large Granny Smith apples (about 1 pound)
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups sugar
mint sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan combine the cranberries, the apples, chopped coarse (not peeled or cored), the wine, and the sugar, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, and simmer it, covered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until it is very thick and is reduced to about 3 cups. Force the mixture through a food mill fitted with the fine disk into a bowl, spoon it into an oiled 3-to-4 cup decorative mold, and chill it, covered, overnight. Run a thin knife around the edge of the mold and dip the mold into warm water for 10 seconds. Invert the mold onto a serving plate and garnish the cranberry sauce with the mint sprigs.

JELLIED CRANBERRY SAUCE



Jellied Cranberry Sauce image

Intensely flavored and vibrant red, this jelly bears no resemblance to the stuff in the can -it's definitely worth the effort. Though we call for 4 bags of cranberries, the yield is only 3 cups because all the solids get strained out. You'll be happy if you have any extra cranberry sauce when you make sandwiches with the leftover turkey.

Categories     Sauce     Side     Thanksgiving     Cranberry     Fall     Chill     Gourmet     Fat Free     Kidney Friendly     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes about 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (12-ounce) bags cranberries, thawed if frozen
3 cups sugar
3 1/3 cups cold water
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (from three 1/4-ounce envelopes)
Special Equipment
a 3 1/2-cup nonreactive decorative mold or 10 individual (1/3-cup) decorative molds

Steps:

  • Bring cranberries, sugar, and 3 cups water to a boil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until all berries have burst, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into a large fine-mesh sieve set over a 2-quart glass measure or a bowl and let stand until all juices have drained through, about 30 minutes. If necessary, press on solids until there is enough juice to measure 3 cups, then discard solids.
  • Stir together gelatin and remaining 1/3 cup water and let stand 1 minute to soften. Bring 1 cup drained cranberry liquid to a simmer in a small saucepan, then add gelatin mixture and stir until just dissolved. Add gelatin mixture to remaining cranberry liquid and stir well. Pour cranberry sauce into lightly oiled mold and chill, covered with plastic wrap, until firmly set, at least 12 hours.
  • To unmold, run tip of a thin knife between edge of mold and cranberry sauce. Tilt mold sideways and tap side of mold against a work surface, turning it, to evenly break seal and loosen cranberry sauce. Keeping mold tilted, invert a plate over mold, then invert cranberry sauce onto plate.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh cranberries and cherries will yield the best flavor in your sauce. If you can't find fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries will also work well.
  • Simmer, Don't Boil: Bring the sauce to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmering will help the flavors to develop without overcooking the fruit.
  • Add Sugar Gradually: Start with a small amount of sugar and then add more to taste. This will help you to avoid making the sauce too sweet.
  • Use a Food Processor or Blender: If you want a smooth sauce, use a food processor or blender to puree the fruit. You can also leave the fruit whole for a chunkier sauce.
  • Chill Before Serving: The sauce will thicken as it chills, so be sure to give it plenty of time to cool before serving.

Conclusion:

Jellied cranberry-cherry sauce is a delicious and festive addition to any holiday table. With its bright red color and tart flavor, it's sure to be a hit with your guests. The best part is that it's incredibly easy to make, and you can even do it ahead of time.
