How to make Cranberry Kir Royale

Pour into a blender and process, be careful of the hot liquid expanding when you Technique: Blend Mixing two or more ingredients with another so that they combine together as one mixture. You can also use the main blade of a food processor to blend. I know this Teach me, please blend - use a towel over the top of the blender. (*see Cook's Note)

2) Strain and discard any solids then set aside and cool.

3) Pour 2 tbsp of cranberry-orange syrup into the bottoms of 4 chilled champagne glasses. Add a few cranberries to each glass and gently top off each glass with Champagne.

* Cook's Note: When Technique: Blend Mixing two or more ingredients with another so that they combine together as one mixture. You can also use the main blade of a food processor to blend. I know this Teach me, please blending hot liquids, remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 mins. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway.

Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
