On this Thanksgiving, I decided to make a little variation on tranditional cranberry sauce. I followed the recipe on the bag to make the sauce and then added some sugar free cranberry gelatin I found at the local grocery store and alcohol. But since this is the SCIENCE and art of gelatin shot making, I tried a different recipe for cranberry sauce and gellified as well as liqiuorified that one too. That was sample B.
After some tastings by the family, the choice was clear. Sample A won overwhelmingly. (Sample size=5).
Sample A was made with cranberries, sugar, and water. I boiled them until the berries popped. Then mixed in the raspberry gelatin, cooled and added Absolut mandarin and some triple sec.
Sample B was made with cranberries, an orange, and sugar. I chopped them in a food processor and blended them into boiling water and gelatin.
Again, Sample A was the winner.
Upon telling a neighbor about the experiment, he asked if I had molded them into the shape of a tin can.
D'oh!
So I rushed right out and got more ingredients. And here's the final finished product.
