\nSpanguoliu kisielius<\/p>\n
\n1 cup sugar
\n2 sticks cinnamon
\n4 whole cloves
\nPlace cranberries into a pot, pour enough water to cover, add cinnamon and cloves, heat until cranberries begin to break up. Remove from heat, put everything through a food processor. There should be about 4 cups of juice and pulp. Return juice and pulp to pot, add sugar. Dissolve starch in chilled cranberry juice and add to pulp and juice. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, heat until the mixture becomes clear. Pour hot pudding into individual glass bowls, cool until it gels. This is a favorite dessert.<\/p>\n
