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.

Pam's Cranberry and Orange Gelatin Salad image

I can't remember where I found this recipe, but I have been making it for years to go with the Thanksgiving turkey. I really like jellied cranberry sauce, so this recipe hits the spot. I used a Google image until I can get my own photo taken.

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

PREP TIME INCLUDES CHILLING AND ALL OTHER PREP. COOK TIME IS FOR HEATING WATER AND DISSOLVING JELLO
2 pkg cranberry gelatin (3 ounces each)
I HAVE BEEN HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING CRANBERRY FLAVORED GELATIN, SO SUBSTITUTE RASPBERRY IF YOU AREN'T ABLE TO GET CRANBERRY.
1 1/2 c boiling water
1 can(s) crushed pineapple, (8 ounces), undrained
1 medium orange, peeled, sectioned and each section cut into 3 pieces
1/2 c chopped celery
3/4 c orange juice
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c coarsely chopped walnuts or toasted pecans
1 can(s) jellied cranberry sauce (14 ounces)
lettuce leaves
mayonnaise

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, completely dissolve gelatin in boiling water stirring 2-3 minutes. Add pineapple, celery, orange juice and lemon juice. Mix well. Chill until partially set. Chop nuts, section and cut the orange and cube jellied cranberry sauce into 3/4 inch cubes while waiting for it to thicken.
  • 2. Remove thickened gelatin mixture from fridge and stir in nuts and orange segment pieces. Stir cranberry sauce carefully into chilled mixture. (Try to keep the jellied sauce cubes intact if possible) Pour into an 11-in. x 9-in. casserole dish
  • 3. Chill until firm 2-3 hr or overnight. Cut into squares; serve each on a lettuce leaf and top with a dollop of mayonnaise.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Zest the orange before juicing it: The zest of an orange contains a lot of flavor, so it's worth taking the time to zest it before juicing it. You can use a microplane grater or a vegetable peeler to zest the orange.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries only need to be cooked for a few minutes, or they will become mushy. Cook them just until they start to burst.
  • Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly before adding the cranberries: If you add the cranberries to the gelatin mixture while it is still too hot, they will cook and become mushy. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes before adding the cranberries.
  • Chill the gelatin mixture for at least 4 hours before serving: The gelatin mixture needs time to set, so chill it for at least 4 hours before serving. You can also chill it overnight.

Conclusion:

Cranberry orange gelatin is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be made ahead of time. The combination of cranberries and orange is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone.
