Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (3 oz) packages of mixed fruit or raspberry gelatin
1/2 envelope unflavored gelatin
1 c boiling water
1/2 c cold water
1 (8oz) can crushed pineapple in juice
1 (15oz) can whole cranberry sauce
1 1/4 c walnuts, finely chopped
TOPPING
1 pkg (8oz) cream cheese
1/4 c confectioners sugar
2 Tbsp whipped cream, sweetened
1/4 c walnuts, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. lightly oil a 4 cup gelatin mold or a 9 inch square pan with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
  • 2. In a medium glass mixing bowl, combine the raspberry gelatin and unflavored gelatin. Add 1 cup boiling water and stir with a metal spoon continuously for 2 minutes, until gelatin is completely dissolved.
  • 3. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Add the pineapple and the juice, cranberry sauce and walnuts. Stir with metal spoon until all ingredients are completely incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.
  • 4. About 1 hour before serving, invert the mold onto a serving platter with a bed of curly leaf lettuce and allow to sit at room temperature. The salad in the mold will release itself and come clean from the mold.
  • 5. Topping: Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, whipped cream and walnuts in a bowl. Spoon the mixture into the center of the mold and serve!

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries: Fresh cranberries are best, but frozen cranberries can also be used. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Choose a high-quality pineapple: The pineapple should be ripe and juicy. Avoid pineapples that are bruised or have brown spots.
  • Use unsweetened gelatin: Unsweetened gelatin is best for this recipe. Sweetened gelatin will make the mold too sweet.
  • Chill the mold overnight: This will allow the gelatin to set properly. Don't rush the process or the mold will not be firm.
  • Garnish with fresh mint or pineapple slices: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the mold.
