Straight out of the can is perhaps a bit too retro-but cranberry jelly unmolded from a decorative pan is seriously retro-chic!

Steps:
- Lightly coat a 4-cup mold or Bundt pan with nonstick spray. Stir gelatin and ½ cup warm water in a small bowl and let sit 10 minutes.
- Set 2 Tbsp. cranberries aside for serving. Bring cardamom, bay leaves, salt, cranberry juice, 1½ cups sugar, and remaining cranberries to a boil in a large saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Continue to cook, stirring often and reducing heat as needed to avoid scorching, until cranberries burst and juices begin to look syrupy, 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and pick out cardamom and bay leaves; discard. Stir in gelatin mixture (gelatin should be completely dissolved). Slowly pour cranberry mixture into mold. Chill until completely set, at least 12 hours.
- To serve, dip mold in a bowl of warm water and hold 30 seconds. Remove and place a platter upside down over top of mold. Invert jelly onto platter.
- Just before serving, toss orange zest, remaining 2 Tbsp. cranberries, and remaining 3 Tbsp. sugar in a small bowl to coat. Scatter over jelly.
- Do Ahead: Jelly (without sugared cranberries and zest) can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
SIMPLE "FANCY" CRANBERRY SAUCE
Cranberry sauce recipes range from the very simple (cranberries, water, and sugar) to the relatively complex. This is my personal compromise. It's only slightly more complicated to make than the most basic recipe, but it has enough extra in it to make it a bit more interesting.

Steps:
- Bring water and sugar to a boil.
- Add remaining ingredients, return to boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until berries burst.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Remove ginger root, refrigerate until cold (preferably over night to allow ample time to gel).
- Even after cooling, this is a bit runny for some people's taste. You can solve this by either reducing the amount of liquid added, or by boiling some of it off.
