Add the sugar, coriander, a pinch of salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the sauce thickens, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and remove the orange zest; stir in the vanilla. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving dish, pushing the sauce through with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.

• Continue cooking until cranberries start popping and they look translucent.
• (about 1-2 hours) Pour the cranberries onto the prepared strainer.
• Do not handles the berries, even with a spoon, while draining.

• The lid should not flex up and down.
• If it does fefrigerate or reprocess with a new lid.
