Moms Cranberry Salad Food

MOM'S CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Combine water and sugar in pot and bring to a boil.
• Add cranberries. Cook until cranberries pop open.
• While mixture is hot, add strawberry Jell-o. Stir until combined.
• Add marshmallows. Stir until melted.
• Pour into bowl.
• Chill just until cool but not set. About 30 minutes. Your next step will be to add the rest of the ingredients. You want your apples, celery and pecans to be combined within the salad. You don't want them to sink to the bottom of the bowl. If the Jell-o mixture is too warm the ingredients will sink.
• Add apples, celery and pecans. Stir.
• Pour into mold or bowl. Chill until set.
• We usually fix this the night before so that it is ready to eat at Thanksgiving lunch.

MOM G'S CRANBERRY JELL-O® SALAD

Steps:

• Dissolve lemon gelatin in boiling water in a bowl; stir in cold water. Chill in refrigerator until partially thickened, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Chop cranberries in a food processor and mix sugar into cranberries, pulsing once or twice to combine. Let cranberry mixture stand a few minutes to let sugar dissolve. Stir cranberry mixture, pineapple, celery, and walnuts into gelatin. Pour into a gelatin mold or serving dish. Refrigerate until fully set, about 4 hours.
