Cranberry Orange Mini Jell O Desserts Recipes

ORANGE CRèME DESSERT WITH RUBY CRANBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Press cracker crumbs evenly in bottom of pan. Bake 7 minutes. Place in refrigerator or freezer until completely cooled.
• Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, mix cranberries, sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until cranberries pop, stirring occasionally. Cool 15 minutes. Refrigerate until serving time.
• In small saucepan, stir gelatin and orange juice; let stand 2 minutes. Place saucepan over low heat; stir until gelatin is dissolved.
• In blender container, place yogurt and orange peel; blend until smooth. With blender running, add gelatin mixture. Cover; blend at High speed for 15 to 20 seconds or until combined. Spoon into medium bowl. Gently stir in whipped topping. Spoon and gently spread over cooled crust. Refrigerate 3 hours or until set.

CRANBERRY-ORANGE JELLY

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.
