Categories: Sauce Fruit
Yield: 12 Servings

| 3 | c | Water |
| 1 | tb | Low-calorie raspberry gelati |
| | | Artificial sweetener = 1 cup |

| | | Blue food coloring (optional |
In a saucepan, heat the cranberries and water to the simmering point.
Simmer for 15 minutes, until the berries have burst and the liquid takes on
a syrup-like consistency. Strain mixture through a sieve; discard berry
skins.
To hot liquid, add gelatin, sweetener, and 1 or 2 drops blue food
coloring, stirring until dissolved. Pour into a 3-cup gelatin mold and
chill overnight.
Makes 12 (1/4-cup) servings. Each serving is 1/4 fruit, approximately 11
calories.
NOTE: The reason for the blue food coloring is that without it, this
cranberry sauce is very RED. If you want it to look more like the canned
stuff (a purplish hue), just add a drop or two of the blue).
