JELL-O SHOTS WITH SUGARED CRANBERRIES
For Make-Ahead Sugared Cranberries:
2 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup filtered water
12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup filtered water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Add cranberries. To prevent cranberries from bursting, do not boil. Stir until well coated. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries to a wire rack. Let dry for one hour. Working in batches, roll cranberries in remaining sugar until well coated. Refrigerate for one hour or overnight. Store in airtight container.
Ingredients for Jell-o Shots:
3-ounce package raspberry gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup amaretto liqueur
1/2 cup ice water
Sugared cranberries
Rosemary sprigs
Instructions:
Empty contents of raspberry gelatin packet into a mixing bowl. Add boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add iced water and amaretto liqueur and iced water. Stir well. Pour into shot glasses. Refrigerate until set, 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with sugared cranberries and rosemary sprigs just before serving.
Your beautiful “sterling” platter sure makes your jello shots shine – very pretty 🙂
