Instructions
For the salad
- Spray a 6 cup gelatin mold or a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray.
- Place the raspberry gelatin in a large bowl. Add 1 cup of boiling water, and stir or whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Stir in 1/2 cup cold water.
- Add the pineapple with its juice, cranberry sauce and orange zest. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Pour the mixture until the mold or pan. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- To unmold the gelatin, submerge the bottom 2/3rd of the mold in very hot water for about 30 seconds. Place your serving platter on top of the open part of the mold and flip it over. If it doesn't immediately come out you can repeat the hot water dips until it comes out.
- Place the gelatin mold back into the fridge until you're ready to serve it.
Optional garnishes
- Right before serving, make the whipped cream if you're using it. Beat the cream with a mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sugar and beat for another 30 seconds. Place the whipped cream on top of the gelatin and top with cranberries, mint sprigs and orange zest.
Notes
- The gelatin mold can be made 3 days in advance and stored, loosely covered in the fridge. Add the whipped cream and garnishes right before serving.
- Don't have time to make your own whipped cream? Store bought whipped topping is also a great choice.
