Categories     Side dish

Time 8h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 small raspberry jello packages
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple
Whipped cream and mint leaves, for serving
12 ounces fresh or frozen cranberries
1 orange, halved with seeds removed and peel left on
1 apple, halved, peeled, and seeded
1 1/4 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Start by making the relish. In a large food processor, combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries, half an orange (peel on but seeds removed), and half a peeled apple. Pulse until the mixture is in a fine dice. Sprinkle the cranberry mixture with the sugar and allow to sit for 20 minutes, or until sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Divide the cranberry relish in half (about 1 1/2 cups each). NOTE: This makes enough for TWO jello salads. Feel free to halve the relish recipe or refrigerate the second half for another use-it's a great side dish on its own!
  • Meanwhile, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Dissolve 2 small packages of raspberry jello in the water. Add 1 cup cold water.
  • Stir in half of the cranberry relish and a 20 ounce can of undrained crushed pineapple. Pour the mixture into a jello mold. Do not overfill. If your jello covers the top of the center piece, spoon a bit out and place it in a separate container. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 3 days.
  • To un-mold, place a large, flat platter on top of the jello mold then carefully flip over. If the jello doesn't release easily, flip it back over, and submerge the bottom of the pan in 2-3 inches of very hot water before trying again. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Decorate with homemade whipped cream, fresh cranberries, and orange zest right before serving.

Tips for Making Fresh Cranberry JELLO Salad:

- Always use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they will not yield the same results. - Be sure to rinse the cranberries thoroughly before using them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris. - If you prefer a tarter salad, you can use less sugar. However, if you like a sweeter salad, you can add more sugar to taste. - Be sure to chill the salad for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will help the JELLO to set properly. - For a more festive presentation, you can garnish the salad with whipped cream, fresh cranberries, or mint leaves.

Conclusion:

Fresh Cranberry JELLO Salad is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a sweet and tangy treat, give Fresh Cranberry JELLO Salad a try!
