Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (8 ounce) package orange Jell-O
1 can cranberry sauce
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple, crushed
1 (12 ounce) can 7-Up soda
1 cup water
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

  • Add soda& water.
  • When foam has disappeared, pour into mold& chill until set.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than frozen or canned cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen or canned cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries only need to be cooked for a few minutes until they just start to burst. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use a good quality gelatin: The quality of the gelatin will affect the texture and flavor of your salad. Look for a brand that is unflavored and has a high bloom strength.
  • Chill the salad thoroughly before serving: This will help the gelatin to set properly and make the salad more refreshing.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh mint or parsley: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.

Conclusion:

Cranberry gelatin salad is a classic holiday dish that is easy to make and always a hit with guests. With its bright red color, tangy flavor, and refreshing texture, it's the perfect way to end a festive meal.
