Bourbon Cranberry Jello Freutcake

Boozy jello might sound like a bad college memory, but I promise, this Bourbon spiked cranberry jello is only a distant relative and way more delicious to eat! No cheap vodka or plastic cups here.

This dessert starts with a box of raspberry jello dressed up with cranberry juice cocktail and your favorite bourbon. I used Maker’s Mark but you can use any Bourbon or Whiskey you enjoy! The flavor is sweet with a punch of bourbon flavor and a

subtle tartness from the cranberry juice. It’s jiggly and fun, like all good jello should be, but also elegant when topped with little sugared cranberries and a sprig of fresh rosemary.

So about those sugared cranberries…have you ever made them? I’m only slightly in love with these sparkly berries. They’re easy to make and can be used in lots of festive ways during the holidays from cocktail garnishes to cake or even pie toppers. Here’s how I make them…

Sugared Cranberries: Make a simple syrup by combining 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a small pot. Cook over medium heat stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, allow syrup to cool slightly, and then stir in one bag of fresh (washed) cranberries. Stir until all cranberries are coated. Remove cranberries with a slotted spoon to a cooling rack and allow to dry completely. Once the cranberries are dry (and very sticky) roll in white sugar. Snack on, garnish with, and enjoy!
