Hot Cranberry Kissel
1 Servings
1 lemon
3/4 c granulated sugar
3/4 c water
12 oz fresh (or cranberries)
-Frozen
1/8 t cinnamon,Ground
Directions:
Remove 3 lengthwise strips of peel from the lemon with a vegetable
peeler. Put the peel into a medium-size saucepan along with the sugar
and water. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring once or twice
to help the sugar dissolve. Reduce the heat and simmer 5 minutes.
Rinse the cranberries (don't rinse frozen berries), and remove any
stems or squashed berries. Add to the pan and when boiling, simmer
about 5 minutes until most of the skins have popped. Remove and
discard the lemon peel. Dip out about 1 cup of the popped berries and
reserve.
Puree the remaining berries and the syrup in a food processor
or blender and put back in the pan. Stir in the cinnamon and the
reserved berries. Serve warm. Makes 2 cups.
SUMMER CRANBERRY SAUCE: Make this when cranberries aren't
available. In a small saucepan, heat one 16-ounce can whole-berry
cranberry sauce, 2 strips lemon peel, and about 1/16 teaspoon ground
cinnamon. Simmer 5 minutes over low heat, stirring often, to develop
the flavor. Discard peel. Serve sauce warm. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
