AUNT BRENNIE'S HOLIDAY CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Dissolve Jello in boiling water.
• Add pineapple and the cold water.
• Chill until thickened (optional, but recommended).
• Cut orange into wedges and remove seeds. The orange peel adds a nice tang, but if you want to cut back on the tang, then you can peel some of the orange, but the peel makes it good.
• Put orange and cranberries through food processor and pulse as you would cole slaw -- don't puree. May take several batches. I do about a cup of cranberries and a wedge of orange per batch in my VitaMix blender. Pour results into a large bowl.
• Mix in diced apples and sugar and chopped nuts.
• Fold in thickened jello.
• Pour into a mold or just a bowl and chill for a few hours. (I've never used a mold and tried to turn it out myself, I just pour directly into a nice looking serving bowl.
• This is best if you make it the day before.
