How to Make Cranberry And Pomegranate Jellies

  1. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of gelatin powder over 1/4 cup cold water in a small bowl. Let it stand for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. Prepare the cranberry base: In a saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups cranberry juice and ½ cup granulated sugar. Gently heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Avoid boiling: Bring the mixture to just below a simmer. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat.
  4. Incorporate gelatin: Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm cranberry mixture. Stir gently until it's fully dissolved.
  5. Layer the jellies: Divide the cranberry mixture evenly among 4 glasses or dessert dishes.
  6. Add pomegranate: Top each glass with ¼ cup pomegranate seeds and 1 tablespoon pomegranate juice.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the jellies are set.
  8. Optional adult touch: For an extra special touch, stir in 1 tablespoon of vodka or orange liqueur to the cranberry mixture before adding the gelatin.
  9. Serve: Just before serving, provide a small jug of chilled evaporated milk for guests to add to their jellies as desired.
