Make the Cranberry Sabayon

-

Place egg yolks and champagne in large heatproof bowl.

-

Slowly whisk in sugar, Grand Marnier and cranberry sauce.

-

Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water, making sure that the bottom of bowl does not touch the water.

-

Whisk mixture for about 5 minutes or until foamy, light in color and warm to the touch.

-

While heating mixture, remove bowl from the pan 3 or 4 times to whisk for a few seconds off-heat; this insures even heating and that the bottom will not overcook.

-
Place in a larger bowl filled with ice water for about 5 minutes or until cooled.
-
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
This sauce should be served chilled and is best eaten the day it is made.
