When cranberry sauce just isn't special enough for your holiday dinner, this Cranberry Holiday Mold is what you need. Boasting a refreshing citrusy and berry flavor, this one fits all your holiday entertaining from autumn through winter.

What You'll Need

2 (4-serving size) packages strawberry-flavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 (14-ounce) can whole-berry cranberry sauce
1 1/2 cup (one 12-ounce can) cold ginger ale (see Note)
1 (11-ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained

What to Do

In a large bowl, combine the gelatin and boiling water; stir until the gelatin is dissolved.
Add the cranberry sauce to the gelatin; mix well. Stir in the ginger ale, then pour into a gelatin mold or 10-inch Bundt pan. Place the orange segments over the top and chill for at least 8 hours, or until firm.
When ready to serve, immerse the bottom of the mold in warm water for a few seconds, then invert onto a flat serving plate larger than the mold, and release the mold.

Note

Diet ginger ale will work just as well as regular, while reducing the sugar content of this treat.
We like to garnish the mold with additional orange segments for a special holiday-fancy touch.

I have a Holiday Cranberry Salad dish I make that is along the same lines, but has other items in it, as well as the orange slices & whole cranberry sauce. Have made it for over 20 yrs. Want the recipe?

About the Cranberry Holiday Mold: If the orange slices are put on top of the mold before refrigerating 8 hours, how are they on top after reverting the pan? This isn't a mistake in directions, is it? Thanks.

If you read the NOTE section....it will explain it to you. The orange slices are used as a garnish in the photo and they will be at the base of the mold, as well. Enjoy!
