Ingredients

  • 1 (3 ounce) package raspberry jello or cherry jello
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 small orange (or 2 clementines), peeled and diced
  • ½ cup crushed pineapple, well drained
  • 1 (14 ounce) can whole cranberry Sauce
  • ½ cup Chopped Pecans
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley; whipped cream or Cool Whip

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve Jell-O in boiling water, whisking for 2 minutes. Whisk in the cold water. Cool in the refrigerator just until slightly thickened (about 45 minutes – 1 hour).
  2. Gently skim off any foam or bubbles on top of the Jell-O. Stir in oranges, pineapple, cranberry sauce, and pecans.
  3. Pour into an 8-inch square dish that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Chill in the refrigerator until completely set (at least 4 hours or overnight).
  4. Slice into squares and garnish with optional toppings.

Notes

  • Wrapped tightly, the jello salad will keep in the fridge for 4-5 days. I do not recommend freezing this dish. The jello changes structure when frozen and will not hold its structure when thawed.
