How To Make drema's cranberry congealed salad
-
1This works better in pyrex or glass oblong dish approximately 13 x 9 x 2. I spray a small amount of non-stick unflavord coating and gently wipe out excess with paper towel. Set aside dish.
-
2In large mixing bowl place boiling water and dissolve all jello by stirring thoroughly. Set aside.
-
3In separate bowl mix wholeberry cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple and the 1/2 cup reserve liquid, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, chopped apples, orange zest and pecans. Mix well. Fold and stir gently into the dissolved jello mixture above.
-
4Chill overnite in fridge. The mixture will be very firm. At serving time I cut squares and serve on a nice serving platter decorated with curly lettuce leaves or you can create your own serving ideas.
-
5Optional ingredient that can be added is 1/2 cup chopped celery. Enjoy!
