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.)

RUBY RED LAYERED SALAD
This is another Jello salad but one that I must make for Thanksgiving and Christmas or anytime that we have roast turkey. I going to provide the recipe as I found it. But as we are diabetic, I make the cranberry sauce from scratch so that I can control the sugar and I use sugar free jello as well. I only posting so that I do not lose the recipe, I got the recipe from the internet some years ago so I can not tell you what site the recipe came from for sure. I also did not copy the serving sizes and how much the recipe makes so I have guessed from my own experience. If I am off greatly, I am sorry.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries will work as well. Just thaw them before using.
- To make sure the salad is not too tart, add some sugar or honey to taste. You can also add other fruits, such as oranges, pineapples or grapes, to balance out the tartness.
- If you want a more creamy salad, you can add some whipped cream or sour cream. You can also add some nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for added crunch.
- If you have leftover salad, it will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Just store it in an airtight container.
