HOLIDAY CRANBERRY JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil.
• Add hot water to a med-large tempered bowl along with the orange juice and jello flavoring packets and disssolve thoroughly.
• Chill until syrupy (30-40 mins)in a 9 x 9 or 9 X 13 dish (the only slight difference will be the depth of salad).
• Chop celery finely in Food Processor, remove to a small dish and set aside.
• Peel rind close to the zest.
• Grind rind and cranberries in food processor until chopped ever so thinly (I remember when we chopped all by hand!).
• Add sugar and mix with cranberry mixture. I stir right into food processor for one less dish.
• When jello is syrupy, add cranberry mixture, nuts and finely chopped celery, mixing well in your dish.
• Or you can transfer into a mold.
• Refrigerate until firm (several hours).
