jellied cranberry nut candy
(2 ratings)
This is a new recipe for me this year. It's so easy and the results are colorful, sparkling and delicious! I have used cranberry and orange flavors of gelatin, however I prefer the extra kick the lemon adds. NOTE: They will be soft the next day, but you will still be able to roll them in sugar (as mine are pictured). They will continue to become more set over a few days.

How To Make jellied cranberry nut candy
-
1Line an 8-in. square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter, then set aside.
-
2In a large saucepan combine the cranberry sauce, 1 cup sugar and gelatin. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in walnuts.
-
3Pour into prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Alternatively, you can pour into buttered pan without foil. Though it may be a little more difficult to remove, it can be done with a metal spatula).
-
4Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Discard foil and cut into 1-in. squares. Roll in remaining sugar.
-
5Store at room temperature between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. These are best when stored for at least three days before serving.
