Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Cranberry gelatin mix
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (in juice)
- 14 ounces Whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1 whole Peeled and chopped apple
Instructions
Prepare a medium-sized mixing bowl or a gelatin mold for assembling the salad.
Pour 6 ounces of cranberry gelatin mix into the bowl.
Add 2 cups of boiling water to the gelatin mix and stir well until fully dissolved (about 2 minutes).
Stir in 1.5 cups of cold water to the mixture.
Drain the juice from the 20 ounces of crushed pineapple and set the juice aside. Add the crushed pineapple to the gelatin mixture and gently stir.
Add the 14 ounces of whole berry cranberry sauce to the gelatin and mix thoroughly to distribute it evenly.
Fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans and 1 peeled, chopped apple into the mixture.
Pour the mixture into a gelatin mold or serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Unmold before serving, if desired, by running warm water along the outside of the mold to release the salad. Serve chilled as a side dish or dessert.
