My husband said this reminded him of a dish his mom made for Thanksgiving! I didn't add the chopped merinque. We felt it was a little more tart than we would have liked. I would suggest adding the merinque, a little more sugar or even some honey to the cranberry mixture.
Cranberry Fool
Recipe Courtesy of Arepas to Zwtschgen
juice and grated zest of 1 orange
100 g sugar
300 g cranberries, fresh or frozen
250 ml heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp orange liquor (optional)
chopped meringue (optional)
Bring sugar with 150 ml water to a boil. Add orange zest and simmer for 5 minutes. Add cranberries and orange juice, simmer for 5 minutes until all cranberries are burst open. Remove from heat, let cool. (Pass through a sieve if you desire a smoother texture and less bitterness.) Whip cream. Lightly fold cranberries, meringue (if using) and liquor (if using) into cream. Or layer ingredients in a bowl and lightly mix just before serving.
