Beloved of children’s parties, gelatin is popular with all ages and it’s virtually fat free. This cranberry gelatin has a delicious grown-up favor and beautiful color.
Ingredients
- 3½ cups frozen cranberries
- ⅓ cup superfine or granulated sugar
- 2½ cups water, plus extra for the gelatin
- 4 gelatin sheets
- 1½ cups frozen raspberries, plus a few extra to serve
How to Make It
- Put the frozen cranberries, sugar, and 1 cup of water into a saucepan, cover, and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until soft. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, put the gelatin sheets in a shallow dish, cover with cold water, and let soften for 5 minutes.
- Pour the cranberries and their cooking liquid into a food processor and process to a puree. Push the puree through a fine-mesh strainer back into the saucepan, then stir in the remaining water and warm over low heat.
- Drain the gelatin sheets, add to the warm cranberry mixture, and stir until the gelatin has dissolved. Let cool.
- Arrange a ring of frozen raspberries in the bottom of a 1¼-quart gelatin mold, then spoon a little of the cranberry mixture over the top. Freeze for 15-20 minutes, or until set.
- Pour half the remaining cranberry mixture into the mold, sprinkle with half the remaining raspberries, then chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until just set. Pour the remaining cranberry mixture over the raspberries and sprinkle with the remaining raspberries. Chill in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, or until set firm.
- Dip the mold into a bowl of hot water, count to ten, then lift it out. Invert the mold onto a plate, then–holding the mold and the plate tightly–jerk to release the gelatin. Remove the mold and serve.
