Steps:
- Place the water, cranberries and sugar into a small saucepan, set over medium-high heat and simmer until the berries begin to pop, approximately 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Puree with a stick blender, blender or food processor, for 1 minute. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer directly into a metal 13 by 9-inch pan. Do not press on the skins. Simply allow the juice to drip through the strainer. Add the zest and stir to combine. Place in the freezer until set, at least 6 hours and up to overnight. Once frozen, scrape the mixture with a fork to create a shaved ice texture. Serve immediately.
CRANBERRY-ORANGE FLUFF
Dessert salad, fluff or whatever you call this wonderful stuff-it's simple to prepare, beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. It's also perfect for holiday entertaining, especially in this sweet-tart-tangy rendition. Canned cranberries and chopped pecans add a chewy and crunchy contrast to the creamy base of whipped topping and cream cheese, while mandarin oranges add sweetness (and take the place of the pineapple that's a dessert salad standby). Serve up a bowl of this pretty pink salad, and watch how quickly it disappears.

CRANBERRY GRANITA
The arrival of cranberries in the fall magically coincides with the holiday food shopping frenzy. A wonder of nature? Or just good timing? Regardless, I'm happy whenever I find cranberries in abundance. Their flavor is invigorating and restorative, which is probably why they're so popular around the time of year when many of us could use help after overindulging in copious holiday feasts.
