Cranberry Kissel

Cranberry jelly can be served neat, for example, for breakfast, and can also be used as a sauce for pancakes or cheese cakes. Which option to prefer is up to you, but it is definitely worth preparing such a dish. By the way, our recipe for cranberry jelly differs from many traditional ones in that it is cooked with the addition of spices - star anise and cinnamon. As a result, the dish acquires an unusually bright aroma, as well as interesting notes in the taste. And if the cranberry jelly is thoroughly cooled and supplemented, for example, with whipped cream, then you will get a wonderful dessert that will be appreciated by everyone, including the most capricious little fidgets!
