Ingredients
  

Jello Salad
  • 1 package cranberry flavored gelatin 6 ounce
  • 2 cups water boiling
  • 1 can crushed pineapple 15 ounce, undrained
  • 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce 14 ounce
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • 9x13 inch pan or mold

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the cranberry flavored gelatin in the boiling water, stirring until no granules remain.
  2. Stir in the undrained crushed pineapple and the whole berry cranberry sauce until well combined.
  3. Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch pan or a decorative mold and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Notes

For a firmer salad, you can reduce the amount of water slightly or add another box of Jello. This salad is best made the day before serving to allow adequate chilling time and flavor development.
