CRANBERRY PARFAITS

I found a recipe for lime parfaits online. This recipe has gotten me a lot of praise. I was racking my brain for a Thanksgiving dessert and tried several different ways to create a variation of the lime parfait. I tried pomegranate and cranberry juice first, both 100%. They were too wet. So, I had a light in my head go off and thought I should try cranberry sauce instead. It worked so well! I even added it to the real whipped cream I whipped up and it was delicious.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
½ cup graham cracker crumbs
1 (14 ounce) can low-fat sweetened condensed milk
½ cup cranberry sauce
1 cup cold whipping cream

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and cook until bubbling, about 1 minute. Add the graham cracker crumbs; stir until the color deepens, about 3 minutes. Turn out onto a plate to cool.

  • Layer 1/4 cup of the cranberry mixture into each of six (8 ounce) wine goblets or glasses; top each with 1 tablespoon of the crumbs. Repeat layering. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.

My grandmother used to make this, but she used saltines and straight cranberry. I've adapted it to fit our family's taste.
