Recipe: Cranberry Jell-O Shots
Description: These shots are just as jiggly as that can-shaped jar of cranberry sauce found at your holiday table, only people will be clamoring to try them. The sugar-coated cranberries are optional, but highly encouraged.
Ingredients: [{"text": "1 1/2 c. granulated sugar, divided"}, {"text": "1 c. fresh cranberries"}, {"text": "2 (3.4-oz) packets cranberry flavored Jell-O"}, {"text": "1 c. vodka"}]
Instructions: In&nbsp;medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water and stir until sugar dissolves completely. Let cool 20 minutes, then mix in cranberries until coated.&nbsp;
Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries, tapping away any excess syrup, into a large resealable plastic bag. Add remaining 1 cup sugar, seal, and shake until cranberries are completely coated.&nbsp;
Spread out cranberries on a baking sheet and refrigerate until cranberries are completely cool and sugar hardens, 25 minutes.&nbsp;
Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add Jell-O mix and whisk until completely dissolved, then remove from heat and stir in vodka and 1 cup cold water. Let cool 2 to 3 minutes.&nbsp;
Place 18 plastic shot glasses on a baking sheet and pour in Jell-O mixture until each is 2/3 full.&nbsp;
Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours.&nbsp;
Top each shot with 1 or 2 sugared cranberries.
