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.)

GRANDMA'S CRANBERRY-ORANGE GELATIN SALAD
My grandmother made this salad every Thanksgiving. It is delicious even without its creamy topping. This side dish is so yummy, I sometimes make it even when it's not Thanksgiving! Depending on your salad's shape, you can spread the topping in a layer over the Jell-O; or if you use a ring mold, put the topping in the center. Alternately, you could serve the topping in a bowl on the side, so it's optional.

I have served it at the holidays for large family gatherings. Recipe from an old local church cookbook. "Cooking" time includes time to chill Jell-O.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries and oranges for the best flavor. Frozen or canned cranberries and oranges can be used in a pinch, but they will not produce as vibrant a flavor.
- Be sure to grate the orange zest before juicing the oranges. The zest contains much of the orange's flavor.
- If you don't have a mold, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to line the dish with plastic wrap before pouring in the cranberry mixture.
- Chill the mold or baking dish for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cranberry mixture to set properly.
- Garnish the mold with fresh cranberries, orange slices, or mint leaves before serving.
Conclusion:
Cranberry and Orange Mold is a festive and delicious dessert that is perfect for holiday gatherings. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. The combination of tart cranberries and sweet oranges is a classic flavor pairing that is sure to please everyone at your table.
