How to Make Cranberry Marble Mold

  1. Bloom 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  2. Stir in 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, drained).
  3. Refrigerate until the mixture begins to thicken but is still pourable (about 30-45 minutes).
  4. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of cranberry sauce.
  5. Pour half of the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  6. Spoon 1 cup sour cream evenly over the first layer.
  7. Pour the remaining cranberry-pineapple mixture over the sour cream.
  8. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the layers together to create a marble effect.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely firm.
