3. Ladle the softened cranberry mixture into the strainer over the bowl with the gelatin. Use the ladle or a wooden spoon to press the liquid through the mesh. Stir the hot liquid with the gelatin to dissolve.
4. Repeat step 3 until all the mixture has been pressed out.
5. Stir in the honey to dissolved mixture.
6. Cover and refrigerate overnight until set.

The Take
We made the classic cranberry sauce last year, so we decided to try a different one this year.  We haven’t tasted it yet (we’ll wait for Thanksgiving Day), but the liquid is yummy!  We put our first batch into a jello mold that looks like a brain and into the last bits into a tin can… you know like you’d think it should be from! Ha! We’ll let you know how it turns out.  Seems promising…

*UPDATE* It was wonderful!
