1 bag cranberries, 12 ounces
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Chill a decorative glass bowl or 6 stemmed glasses.

Rinse and pick over cranberries and place in a large saucepan. Add sugar and cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, until cranberries have burst and the mixture has a thick jam-like consistency. Cool.

Stir in zest, juice and liqueur and rub through a strainer to remove skins.

Whip cream and fold 3/4 of it into cranberry puree. Place mousse in bowl or glasses. Decorate with reserved whipped cream just before serving.
