Ingredients

  • 6 ounces lemon Jello gelatin
  • 3 cups hot water
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1 orange peeled, quartered, and seeds removed
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar

Instructions

  • Combine the gelatin and hot water in a large bowl and refrigerate until syrupy. It should become syrupy in about 90 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure that it doesn’t set up completely.
  • Put the cranberries and orange through a food chopper or food processor. Add the celery and sugar, and chop. Make sure the cranberries, orange, and celery are chopped up very well.
  • Stir the cranberry mixture into the gelatin and refrigerate until set.

Recipe Tips

• If you don't have a food chopper or grinder, you can use a food processor to cut everything up.
• Want to mix it up? You can add apples, canned pineapple, or walnuts to your cranberry salad. Don’t use fresh or frozen pineapple, as the gelatin may not solidify.
• Make your cranberry salad a dessert by topping it with whipped cream.
