Cranberry Trifle Recipe

• 24 ounces fresh cranberries, washed (about 6 cups; 680g)
• 24 ounces pure, unsweetened cranberry juice (about 3 cups; 680g)
• 4 ounces elderflower liqueur, such as St. Germain (about 1/2 cup; 115g)
• 16 ounces plain or
• 1 (3-inch) strip of orange peel
• 1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
• 24 ounces mascarpone (three 8-ounce containers; 680g), straight from the fridge
• 14 ounces heavy cream (about 1 3/4 cup; 395g)
• 5 ounces dark maple syrup (about 1/2 cup; 140g)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon (1g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 (10-inch) angel food cake, store bought or
• , cut into 1-inch cubes
• Cardamaro, or other spirit, to taste

1. Combine fresh cranberries, cranberry juice, liqueur, sugar, orange peel, and cinnamon in a 5-quart stainless steel or enameled Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Continue cooking until most of the cranberries have popped and the mixture looks rather jammy, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, set aside until needed, up to three hours at room temperature.
2. Combine mascarpone, cream, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and cloves in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Mix at low speed to start, then increase to high and whip until the mixture is thick and stiff, about 5 minutes. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days; if needed, briefly rewhip before use to restore its consistency.
3. Scatter a layer of cubed angel food cake along the bottom of a trifle dish or large bowl, then sprinkle generously with Cardamaro (or an alternative of your choosing). Cover with a thin layer of cranberry jam, followed by a thick layer of whipped mascarpone. Repeat until the dish is full. Bring to the table immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours before serving.
