Steps:
- Boil the first three ingredients together for 5 minutes. Add the marshmallows and the jello. Stir until the marshmallows have dissolved. Let it cool. When it is cool, add the cup of cold water, nuts, apples and celery. Pour into a 9" square dish and refrigerate until solid and ready to serve. (I usually make this in a clear, square glass dish because it looks pretty from the sides. I serve it cut into small squares because it seems nicer to me than a big glop from a spoon.)
GRANDMA'S CRANBERRY SALAD
I always love the punch of color that cranberries add to a meal, and this delicious cranberry salad recipe really does the berry justice. Not only did we love the perfect balance of sweet and tart, but the chopped pecans added a wonderful crunch that we'd never had before in a cranberry salad.

Steps:
- Boil the cup of water. Dissolve the Jell-o in the hot water in an 8-inch square pan mix well. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and pineapple juice. Stir to dissolve well. Note: You can substitute the 8x8 dish and use a 9x13 dish, it seems to gel up a bit better that way.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Chill overnight.
- Grandma's Notes: Chop up the pecans first before getting the blender wet. Or you could just buy pre-chopped pecans and save a step. Use the blender or food processor to chop up cranberries, then orange, seeded, and partially peeled. The chopped peel gives it that special zing!

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that is perfect for this salad. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
- Chop the nuts finely: Finely chopped nuts will distribute evenly throughout the salad and provide a nice crunchy texture. You can use any type of nuts you like, but walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all good choices.
- Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their tart flavor. Cook them just until they start to pop, about 5-7 minutes.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Grandma B's Cranberry Salad is a classic holiday side dish that is always a hit. It's easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The tart and tangy cranberries, sweet pineapple, crunchy nuts, and creamy marshmallows make this salad a delicious and refreshing addition to any holiday meal.
