Tips

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and a more vibrant color than frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will lose their shape and flavor. Cook the cranberries just until they begin to pop, about 5 minutes.
  • Use a good-quality gelatin: Gelatin is the key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good-quality gelatin. Look for a gelatin that is made from 100% natural ingredients.
  • Chill the gelatin thoroughly: The gelatin needs to be chilled thoroughly before serving. This will help it to set properly and have a firm texture.
  • Garnish with fresh cranberries: Garnish the gelatin with fresh cranberries before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
