📝 Preparation Steps
1
Lightly grease a 4-cup mold or Bundt pan. Combine cranberries, juice, sugar, zest, thyme, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until cranberries burst and liquid is thickened, 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes; cool slightly.

Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a bowl. Once cranberry mixture is cool, discard orange zest and thyme sprigs and transfer mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add gelatin mixture and vanilla and blend ⏱️ 5 seconds; pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl. Pour into prepared mold and chill until set, ⏱️ 12 hours or up to 2 days. To unmold, carefully release edges of cranberry sauce and turn out onto a serving plate. Serve with candied orange zest, if desired.
Candied orange zest, for garnish, optional
