Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1.25 pounds fresh or frozen cranberries (4.5 cups)
1.75 cups granulated sugar
1.75 cups cold water, divided
1 cup grappa, divided
2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin (4.5 teaspoons)
Directions:
Directions:
Bring cranberries, sugar, 1.5 cups water, and 3/4 cup of grappa to a boil in a four-five quart heavy pot, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then briskly simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until most berries have burst and mixture is thickened, 15-20 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a two quart measuring cup or bowl, pressing hard on and then discarding solids (you will have 2.5 cups liquid). Stir together gelatin and remaining 1/4 cup water and let stand one minute to soften. Bring one cup drained cranberry liquid to a simmer in a small saucepan, then add gelatin mixture and stir until just dissolved. Add gelatin mixture and remaining 1/4 cup grappa to remaining 1.5 cups cranberry liquid and stir well. Pour cranberry sauce into a lightly oiled three cup non-reactive decorative mold and chill, covered with plastic wrap, until firmly set, about twelve hours.
To unmold, dip mold in a large bowl of warm water (water should reach halfway up the mold) for five seconds, then run tip of a thin knife around the edge of the mold. Tilt mold sideways and tap side against a counter, turning it, to evenly break seal and loosen jelly. Keeping mold tilted, a plate over the mold, then invert onto a plate.
