Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Rinse the cranberries and pick out any stems or debris. In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the cranberries have popped, about 10-15 minutes.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and a splash of the water until smooth. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
4
Let the Cranberry Kissel cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve chilled, garnished with fresh cranberries and a sprinkle of sugar.
