Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) salted butter, softened
2 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
About 1/3 cup granulated sugar, for dusting
24 pieces crystallized ginger candy (1/2- to 1-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • Blend the wet: In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl using a hand mixer on medium, blend the sugar and butter until lighter in color and fluffy. Add the molasses and ginger and blend until smooth. Then add in the egg and blend until incorporated.
  • Add the dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice. Reduce the mixer speed and add the flour mixture in 3 parts, slowly blending and scraping the sides of the bowl to include all the dough. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Roll, bake and top: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Pour enough sugar into a small bowl to dust the cookies (about 1/3 cup).
  • Using a small melon baller or ice scream scoop, make 24 balls of cookie dough and roll each in the sugar to coat on all sides. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets 1 inch apart and gently press each down.
  • Bake until the bottoms and edges are browned slightly, about 12 minutes; remove from the oven and immediately push a ginger candy in the center of each cookie so that it cools with it locked in place. Slide the cookies off the sheet by pulling the parchment paper off the sheet and onto a cooling rack. Cool before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 days.

Tips:

  • Prepare your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients measured and prepped. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, ripe apples: The quality of your apples will greatly affect the flavor of your jelly. Choose firm, ripe apples that are free of blemishes.
  • Peel and core your apples: Before cooking the apples, you will need to peel and core them. This can be done by hand or with a kitchen tool.
  • Cook the apples until they are soft: The apples should be cooked until they are soft enough to easily mash with a fork. This will help the jelly to set properly.
  • Add the cranberries: Once the apples are cooked, add the cranberries. Cranberries will add a tart flavor to the jelly.
  • Add the ginger: Ginger will add a spicy flavor to the jelly. You can use fresh ginger or ground ginger.
  • Add the sugar: Sugar will help the jelly to set and will also add sweetness.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent scorching.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer: Once the mixture has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and the jelly to thicken.
  • Test the jelly: After 20 minutes, test the jelly to see if it has set. To do this, place a small amount of jelly on a cold plate. If the jelly wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is ready. If it is still too runny, continue to simmer for a few more minutes.
  • Pour the jelly into molds: Once the jelly has set, pour it into molds. You can use any type of mold you like, such as ramekins, jars, or molds.
  • Chill the jelly: Place the jelly molds in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours. This will help the jelly to set completely.

Conclusion:

Making apple and ginger cranberry jelly molds is a fun and easy way to enjoy the flavors of fall. This recipe is simple to follow and can be made with just a few ingredients. The jelly is tart, sweet, and spicy, and it is perfect for spreading on toast, crackers, or muffins. It also makes a great gift for friends and family.
