PECAN CRANBERRY SALAD



Pecan Cranberry Salad image

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Dessert     Cranberry     Pecan     Boil

Yield serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 15-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained, 1 cup of juice reserved
1 cup water
One 3-ounce package orange gelatin dessert mix
One 3-ounce package cherry gelatin dessert mix
One 16-ounce can whole-berry cranberry sauce
One 6-ounce can frozen orange juice concentrate
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup chopped celery (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the pineapple juice (from the can) and the water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil and remove from the heat. Pour the juice mixture into a large bowl and add the gelatin dessert mixes; stir until dissolved. Add the drained pineapple, cranberry sauce, orange juice concentrate, nuts, and celery, and mix well. Spray a 6-cup mold with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the gelatin mixture into the mold and refrigerate until firm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the pecans finely. Finely chopped pecans will distribute more evenly throughout the salad and will be less likely to clump together.
  • Don't overcook the gelatin. Overcooked gelatin will be tough and rubbery. Follow the package directions carefully to avoid overcooking.
  • Chill the salad thoroughly before serving. This will help the gelatin to set properly and will make the salad more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad with a dollop of whipped cream or sour cream. This will add a creamy richness to the salad and help to balance out the tartness of the cranberries.

Conclusion:

Cranberry pecan gelatin salad is a classic holiday dish that is always a hit with guests. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making it a great option for busy hosts. The combination of tart cranberries, crunchy pecans, and sweet gelatin is irresistible, and the salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
