How to Make Holiday Cranberry Mold
- In a small saucepan, thoroughly combine 1 (1 ounce) package unflavored gelatin, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Add 1 cup of cold water to the saucepan.
- Place over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest.
- Blend with a rotary beater until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow refrigerator tray or baking dish.
- Quick-chill in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture is firm around the edges but still soft in the center (approximately 1 inch from the edge).
- Beat the chilled mixture with a rotary beater until light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in 1 (12 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce and 1 cup of whipped cream.
- Pour the mixture into a 4-cup mold (or individual molds) and chill in the refrigerator until completely firm (at least 4 hours).
- Carefully unmold onto a serving plate and serve chilled.
