directions

  • Rinse cranberries and put to boil in water.
  • When all the berries have burst, strain and force through a sieve.
  • Retain the liquid and pulp; discard the skins.
  • Reheat the juice while mixing in the sugar to taste.
  • Mix the potato starch with cold water and slowly stir into the juice until thickened. It should be the consistency of thick syrup.
  • Pour the hot kissel in to a serving dish and sprinkle the top with sugar to avoid forming a skin on top.
  • Cover and cool.
  • Serve topped with whipped cream.

  1. I'm writing a book which has an old Russian man as one of the characters. Moving along, one of the main characters ends up in The Russian Tea Room which I haven't been to in a long time (and isn't the same now as it was.) I always got the cranberry Kissel, and it was like a fairly thick cold soup, I have a feeling that it's kind of like a family recipe and everyone has their favorite way of making it, and all the versions are valid.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
