GRANDMA'S CRANBERRY-ORANGE GELATIN SALAD



Grandma's Cranberry-Orange Gelatin Salad image

My grandmother made this salad every Thanksgiving. It is delicious even without its creamy topping. This side dish is so yummy, I sometimes make it even when it's not Thanksgiving! Depending on your salad's shape, you can spread the topping in a layer over the Jell-O; or if you use a ring mold, put the topping in the center. Alternately, you could serve the topping in a bowl on the side, so it's optional.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and a firmer texture than frozen cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries should be cooked until they are softened but still hold their shape. Overcooked cranberries will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality gelatin: Gelatin is what gives cranberry gelatin salad its firm texture. Be sure to use a good quality gelatin that is free of impurities.
  • Chill the salad thoroughly before serving: Cranberry gelatin salad needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the gelatin to set properly and the salad to develop its full flavor.
  • Garnish the salad before serving: Cranberry gelatin salad can be garnished with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit. This will make the salad more visually appealing and festive.

Conclusion:

Cranberry gelatin salad is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bright red color and tangy flavor, cranberry gelatin salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
