Spiked Jellied Cranberry Sauce
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 1/3 cup vodka
- 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, such as Cointreau
- One 14-ounce can jellied cranberry sauce
- Cooking spray
- Put the gelatin in a small bowl, and pour the vodka and liqueur over it.
- Let sit until the gelatin is completely soft, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, transfer the cranberry sauce to a small saucepan.
- Rinse out the can, dry it and coat the inside with cooking spray.
- Heat the sauce over medium-low heat; once it starts to bubble, whisk it vigorously until it's completely smooth with no lumps (the sauce will darken and have a slight sheen).
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the softened gelatin and all the liquid, and stir until incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared can.
- Let the cranberry sauce sit at room temperature until the can is just warm to the touch.
- Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
- To serve, run a small knife around the lip of the can to release the cranberry sauce slightly, then turn the can carefully under running hot water (don't get water in the can).
- Invert the can onto a cutting board, and firmly tap until the sauce unmolds in 1 piece.
- Lay the sauce on its side on a serving plate, and cut into 6 or 7 slices.
