Ingredients For creamy cranberry salad - steph

  • 12 oz
    pkg. fresh cranberries
  • 1 c
    white sugar
  • 6 oz
    pkg. red jello (cranberry, raspberry, cherry)
  • 8 oz
    can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 c
    apple with peel, grated
  • 1 c
    chopped pecans
  • 1 c
    whipping cream
  • 8 oz
    cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 c
    orange juice

How To Make creamy cranberry salad - steph

  • 1
    Process cranberries in blender or food processor (I use a small electric chopper); pour sugar over cranberries and stir to dissolve.
  • 2
    Bring 3/4 cup water to a boil; stir in gelatin and let cool. Stir cooled gelatin into cranberries; add pineapple, orange juice; apple and pecans. Mix well; cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • 3
    Whip cream and beat in cream cheese. In a glass serving dish, layer half of the cranberry mixture, then the whipped cream mixture, then the remaining cranberry mixture. This makes a festive looking presentation. I would even consider adding orange zest or mandarin oranges to this recipe. I used Cherry jello as my grocer didn't have cranberry but I would probably use Cranberry or Raspberry over the Cherry. ENJOY!
