3 Cranberry Gelatin Mold Recipes For The Holidays

If you are looking for a quick and easy cranberry flavored dessert to make for your holiday parties and family gatherings, then I think you should try one of these recipes. I make them every holiday season and they are a big hit with my family and friends. If you are not familiar with a gelatin mold, they are really easy to use. A mold typically has three parts...the ring, a bottom seal and a top seal. Once your gelatin salad is firm, you will want to un-mold it onto a serving plate that is lined with fresh lettuce leaves. You will want to keep your dessert in the refrigerator until 15 minutes before serving time. If desired, you can top the dessert with some cool whip and/or fresh fruit. Cranberry Salad 3 cups fresh cranberries 3 cups water 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 package (6 ounce) cherry-flavored gelatin 1 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows 1 cup chopped apple (unpeeled) 3/4 cup chopped celery 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Rinse cranberries in a double colander; remove any stems and faulty berries. Place cranberries, water, sugar and baking soda in a 2 1/2 qt. saucepan. Cook over medium heat stirring frequently for about 5-7 minutes or until mixture is hot and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. While mixture is hot, stir in gelatin and miniature marshmallows until dissolved and melted. Cool slightly; stir in apple, celery and walnuts. Pour into a gelatin mold and seal. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Cran-Raspberry Nut Salad 1 package raspberry gelatin 1/2 lb. cranberries 1 orange 1 apple 1 cup granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt chopped nuts Prepare gelatin according to package directions. Chop all cranberries, apple, orange and nuts and add to the gelatin mixture. Stir in the sugar and salt until dissolved. Pour into a gelatin mold and seal. Chill for 4 hours in the refrigerator until firm. Cranberry Applesauce Salad 2 cans jellied cranberry sauce 1 can of applesauce 1 (3 ounce) box cherry gelatin 1 cup boiling water Lightly whip cranberry sauce until smooth, stir in applesauce. Add powdered gelatin mix and stir until all 3 ingredients are combined. Stir in 1 cup of boiling water and stir until ingredients are well combined. Pour mixture into a gelatin mold and seal. Refrigerate for 4 hours until firm.

How to Cook Barbeque Ribs
Nothing says barbeque quite like a rack of ribs covered in finger licking good barbeque sauce. If prepared correctly there is nothing better than bbq ribs. But for many people barbequing ribs can be difficult because they need to be slow cooked to bring out the flavor and taste. Slow cooking ribs on a grill is an art form that can be hard to duplicate if you don๒€™t have the patience or know how to do it right. But never fear there are ways to take the guess work out of how to cook barbeque ribs. First off let๒€™s look at the different types of ribs you can barbeque. ๒€ข Pork Baby Back Ribs ๒€“ Probably the most well known and easiest to cook. They are tender and can be cooked quickly on the grill. ๒€ข Pork Spare Ribs ๒€“ These are bigger than baby back ribs and take quite a bit longer to cook. ๒€ข Beef Ribs ๒€“ The largest of all ribs they take a considerable amount of time to cook, particularly if you want them to be tender as they are tougher than pork ribs. It is best to braise them before grilling ๒€ข Beef Short Ribs ๒€“ Also need to be slow cooked to bring out the tenderness. Much like beef ribs. The problem most people have when it comes to barbequing ribs is either overcooking them, which leads to dry and tough ribs, or not cooking them long enough which can be a potential health hazard. One would guess that that is why most of the time they get overcooked. There are ways around this problem. You can pre-cook your ribs either by boiling, steaming or slow cooking them in the oven before you put them on the grill. Make sure you pre-season your ribs before using these methods as this will help bring out the flavor in your ribs. Many people boil or steam their ribs with beer which not only adds flavor but also tenderizes the meat making it fall off the bone. You can pre-cook your ribs from anywhere from 1 to 4 hours depending on which method you are using. Once they have been pre-cooked just throw them on the grill for 5-10 minutes a side and brush on your favorite barbeque sauce. Before you know it you will have perfectly grilled ribs that are ready to eat.
