Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Cranberry-flavored gelatin mix
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 20 ounces Canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 14 ounces Whole-berry cranberry sauce
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil or non-stick spray (for mold)
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of a gelatin mold or bundt pan with a small amount of vegetable oil or use non-stick spray to ensure easy removal later.
In a large heatproof bowl, combine the cranberry-flavored gelatin mix and 2 cups of boiling water. Stir thoroughly for about 2 minutes, ensuring the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add 1.5 cups of cold water to the mixture and stir to combine.
Stir in the canned crushed pineapple (including its juice), whole-berry cranberry sauce, chopped pecans, and orange zest. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared gelatin mold or bundt pan, ensuring all ingredients are level and evenly spread.
Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until fully set. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, run a thin knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the gelatin. Place a serving platter upside-down over the mold, and quickly invert to release the gelatin onto the platter.
Serve chilled and enjoy your festive cranberry gelatin mold!
