(From "Gooey Desserts, the Joy of Decadence")

Combine all ingredients except cream and garnishes in a saucepan.

Heat to a boil over medium heat, stirring now and then to prevent

sticking. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Chill.

Cranberry sauce may be stored in refrigerator as long as 1 week. Whip

cream in a cold bowl with cold beaters, to stiff peaks. To make

ahead, put cream into a cheesecloth-lined wire mesh strainer set over

a bowl. Refrigerate, covered. May be prepared as much as 6 hours

ahead of serving. To serve, fold 3/4 cup of the chilled cranberry

sauce, leaving streaks, into the whipped cream. Spoon into a stemmed

serving dish. Garnish with orange rind and mint. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
