Cranberry Shiver

By Gilmore

Ingredients

• 1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
• 3 cups water, divided
• 1-3/4 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
• Fresh mint, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, bring cranberries and 2 cups of water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 5 minutes. Press through a strainer to remove skins; discard skins. To the juice, add sugar, lemon juice, orange peel and remaining water; mix well. Pour into an 8-in. square pan. Cover and freeze until ice begins to form around the edges of the pan, about 1-1/2 hours; stir. Freeze until mushy, about 30 minutes. Spoon into a freezer container; cover and freeze. Remove from the freezer 20 minutes before serving. Scoop into small dishes; garnish with mint if desired.
