Recipe information

  • Yield

    8 Servings

Ingredients

1 orange
2 cups fresh cranberries, plus 2 Tbsp. sliced fresh cranberries
½ cup sugar
1½ tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 packet gelatin

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Peel orange; save flesh for another use (or eat!). Simmer peel, cranberries, sugar, ginger, and 2 cups water in a large saucepan until cranberries split and liquid is bright pink, 8–10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Sprinkle gelatin over ¼ cup cold water in a medium bowl; let sit until softened, about 1 minute. Strain cranberry mixture into gelatin, stirring to dissolve. Pour into a 12-oz. mold; top with sliced cranberries. Chill, stirring every 30 minutes, until cranberries are suspended. Chill (do not stir) until set, 6–8 hours.
