Steps:
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then remove from the heat. Stir in the gelatin until completely dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup cold water, the cranberry sauce and pineapple. Mix well, ensuring you break apart any large chunks of the cranberry sauce. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch pan. Cover and place in the refrigerator until firm, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
- Beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the milk and mix until completely combined. The frosting should be thick but still pourable. Carefully spread the cream cheese frosting in a thin layer over the cranberry sauce. Zest the orange directly over the frosting. Serve up in individual squares.
CRANBERRY SAUCE WITH PINOT NOIR
Some of the best wine on the planet comes from Oregon, and with this recipe Jenn Louis, the chef behind Lincoln Restaurant and Sunshine Tavern in Portland, has found a way to weave it into the Thanksgiving feast: as a boon companion to cranberries. "Many deep red wines, or port, can overwhelm the punchy berry," said Ms. Louis. "Instead, Oregon pinot noir keeps the cranberry sauce bright and clean." The recipe here doesn't hold back; it is shot through with allspice, cloves, peppercorns, rosemary, cinnamon, vanilla and honey, in a mix that calls to mind the rusticity and abundance of the Pacific Northwest.

Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available in the fall, but frozen cranberries can be used year-round. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Choose a variety of cranberries. There are many different varieties of cranberries, each with its own unique flavor. Some popular varieties include Early Black, Howes, and Stevens.
- Don't overcook the cranberries. Cranberries should be cooked until they are just softened, but not mushy. Overcooking will make the sauce bitter.
- Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add to the sauce will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Add spices to taste. Common spices used in cranberry sauce include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. You can also add other spices, such as ginger, allspice, or cardamom.
- Let the sauce cool before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools. If you serve it too soon, it will be too thin.
Conclusion:
Cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods. It is a traditional Thanksgiving side dish, but it can also be used on sandwiches, salads, and even desserts. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a cranberry sauce recipe that everyone will enjoy.
