- 8 oz Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the raspberry gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
Stir in the whole-berry cranberry sauce, breaking up any large chunks with a spoon or whisk to evenly distribute.
Add the crushed pineapple along with its juice and stir to combine thoroughly.
If using, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch glass or ceramic dish, or a decorative gelatin mold, if desired.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jello is firm and set.
Once set, slice into squares or unmold onto a serving platter.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a dollop of whipped cream on top of each serving for an extra festive touch.
