Jellied Orange Cranberry Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, combine Lillet, liqueur, sugar and juniper berries if using. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add cranberries and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until all the cranberries burst and are very soft, at least 10 minutes total (or use a candy thermometer and cook mixture to 210 to 215 degrees). The mixture should be reduced and thickened, like a very loose jam.
• Strain the sauce into a bowl through a sieve, pushing on the solids with a rubber spatula to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids. Stir the liquid and transfer to a pretty serving bowl or a mold. (If using a mold, spray the insides first with nonstick cooking spray.) A funnel or liquid measuring cup with a spout can be useful for transferring without splashing the sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least three hours, or up to several days. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
• If you chilled the jelly in a mold, turn it out by placing the mold in a large bowl. Carefully pour hot water into the bowl so it comes up the sides of the mold, melting the jelly just enough to release it from the mold. After 3 minutes, try unmolding the jelly onto a serving dish. If it doesn't come out, return to the bowl and try again 2 minutes later. Repeat until the jelly is released. If necessary, return it to the refrigerator to firm up before serving.

Steps:

• Lightly coat a 4-cup mold or dish with cooking spray. In a medium saucepan, bringing remaining ingredients to a rapid simmer over medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and mixture thickens to a jamlike consistency, 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender, remove cap from hole in lid, cover lid with a dish towel, and hold down firmly while blending until smooth.
• Working quickly, strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, stirring and pressing on solids with a rubber spatula; discard solids. Transfer to mold and smooth top. Lightly coat plastic wrap with cooking spray and press against surface; refrigerate until chilled and set, 1 hour. Unmold just before serving.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, reserving a 1/3-cup of Cider, and bring to a boil in a heavy 5-qt sauce pan; stir until sugar dissolves.
• Reduce heat to a simmer; cook patially covered, stirring occasionally, until all berries have burst, 10-15 minutes.
• Remove cinnamon sticks, cloves, and Bay leaves.
• Pour into a large, fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl, and let stand until all juices have drained through, about 30 minutes.
• Press solids if necessary, then discard.
• Stir gelatin and remaining cider together, and let stand 1 minute to soften.
• In a small saucepan, bring 1 Cup drained cranberry liquid to a simmer, then add gelatin mixture and stir until just dissolved.
• Add gelatin/cranberry mixture to remaining cranberry liquid, and stir well.
• Pour into a lightly oiled mold or bowl and chill, covered with plastic wrap, until firmly set, at least 12 hours.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine the cranberries, sugar and 3 cups water (set the remaining 1/3 cup water to use later) bring to a boil stirring to dissolve the sugar granules.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer stirring occasionally until all the cranberries have "burst" (this should take about 15 minutes).
• Pour the mixture into a large fine-mesh sieve and set over a large heat-proof bowl (I use my large Pyrex measuring cup) allow to drain for about 1 hour forcing the mixture through the strainer occasionally with a spoon to speed up the process).
• Strain until there is 3 cups of juice, then discard the solids.
• In a small bowl stir together the gelatin and 1/3 cup cold water; let stand for 2 minutes.
• Bring only 1 cup of the drained cranberry liquid to a simmer in a small saucepan; remove from heat.
• Add the gelatin/water mixture to the 1 cup of hot cranberry liquid and stir until completely combined.
• Pour the gelatin mixture into the remaining 2 cups of cranberrry liquid; stir until well combined.
• Pour the cranberry liquid into a large glass bowl or a lightly greased mold.
• Cool to room temerature.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 12-24 hours.
• DELICIOUS!

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine the cranberries, the apples, chopped coarse (not peeled or cored), the wine, and the sugar, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, and simmer it, covered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until it is very thick and is reduced to about 3 cups. Force the mixture through a food mill fitted with the fine disk into a bowl, spoon it into an oiled 3-to-4 cup decorative mold, and chill it, covered, overnight. Run a thin knife around the edge of the mold and dip the mold into warm water for 10 seconds. Invert the mold onto a serving plate and garnish the cranberry sauce with the mint sprigs.

Steps:

• Place the cranberries, grated orange rind, cinnamon, orange juice, brown sugar and enough water to cover cranberries in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Immediately turn heat down and simmer for about 1 hour or until the sauce has thickened. Taste for sweetness and adjust with additional sugar if necessary. You can not overcook, so continue cooking until you have a good thick consistency. Let mixture cool a bit then refrigerate in a covered container.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine the cranberries, the sugar, the Port, the zest, and the lemon juice, simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the berries have burst and the mixture has thickened, and let it cool. Spoon the mixture into a lightly oiled 1-quart decorative mold and chill it, covered, for at least 3 hours or overnight. Run a thin knife around the edge of the mold, dip the mold into warm water for 10 seconds, and invert it onto a serving plate.

Steps:

• Place two clean 2 cup or four 1 cup straight-sided mason jars on a rack in a boiling water canner; cover jars with water and heat to a simmer (180 F/82 C). Set screw bands aside; heat lids in hot water, NOT boiling (180 F/82 C). Keep jars and lids hot until ready to use.
• Wash cranberries; drain. Combine cranberries and water in a large stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until skins burst. Puree mixture and return to a clean saucepan.
• Add sugar. For spicy sauce, tie cinnamon and cloves in cheesecloth square, making a spice bag and add to cranberries, Gradually bring mixture to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat, boil vigorously until mixture reaches gel point. Discard spice bag, if using.
• Ladle sauce into a hot jar to within 1/4 inch of top rim. Using nonmetallic utensil, remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim removing any stickiness. Center lid on jar; apply screw band securely and firmly until resistance is met- fingertip tight. Do not overtighten. Place jar in canner; repeat for remaining sauce.
• Cover canner; bring water to a boil, At altitudes up to 1000 feet, process-boil filled 1 cup jars-10 minutes; 2 cup jars-15 minutes. Remove jars without tilting. Cool upright, undisturbed 24 hours; DO NOT RETIGHTEN screw bands. After cooling check jar seals. Sealed lids curve downward.Remove screw bands; wipe and dry bands and jars. Store screw bands separately or replace loosely on jars, as desired. Label and store jars in a cool, dark place.
