GRANDMA'S CRANBERRY-ORANGE GELATIN SALAD
My grandmother made this salad every Thanksgiving. It is delicious even without its creamy topping. This side dish is so yummy, I sometimes make it even when it's not Thanksgiving! Depending on your salad's shape, you can spread the topping in a layer over the Jell-O; or if you use a ring mold, put the topping in the center. Alternately, you could serve the topping in a bowl on the side, so it's optional.

PAM'S CRANBERRY AND ORANGE GELATIN SALAD
I can't remember where I found this recipe, but I have been making it for years to go with the Thanksgiving turkey. I really like jellied cranberry sauce, so this recipe hits the spot. I used a Google image until I can get my own photo taken.

Steps:
- 1. In a bowl, completely dissolve gelatin in boiling water stirring 2-3 minutes. Add pineapple, celery, orange juice and lemon juice. Mix well. Chill until partially set. Chop nuts, section and cut the orange and cube jellied cranberry sauce into 3/4 inch cubes while waiting for it to thicken.
- 2. Remove thickened gelatin mixture from fridge and stir in nuts and orange segment pieces. Stir cranberry sauce carefully into chilled mixture. (Try to keep the jellied sauce cubes intact if possible) Pour into an 11-in. x 9-in. casserole dish
- 3. Chill until firm 2-3 hr or overnight. Cut into squares; serve each on a lettuce leaf and top with a dollop of mayonnaise.
Tips:
- Choose fresh cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and bright red. Avoid cranberries that are bruised or moldy.
- Prepare the oranges properly: To get the most flavor and avoid bitterness, use a zester to remove the zest from the oranges before juicing them. Be sure to remove all of the white pith from the oranges before juicing them as well.
- Use high-quality gelatin: For the best results, use unflavored, powdered gelatin. Avoid using flavored gelatin or gelatin that comes in sheets.
- Chill the gelatin salad properly: Be sure to chill the gelatin salad for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the gelatin to set properly and develop its full flavor.
- Serve the gelatin salad with a variety of toppings: Some popular toppings for cranberry orange gelatin salad include whipped cream, fresh berries, and chopped nuts. You can also drizzle the salad with a honey-orange dressing or a simple syrup made with sugar and orange juice.

Cranberry orange gelatin salad is a classic holiday dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. It is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion.
