GRANDMA'S CRANBERRY-ORANGE GELATIN SALAD
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.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup cranberry juice. Set aside to soften, 5 minutes. Place over low heat until gelatin has dissolved, 4 to 5 minutes. Add sugar; stir gently until dissolved (rub mixture between your fingers to make sure it's smooth), 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Transfer gelatin mixture to a medium bowl; stir in orange juice and remaining 2 cups cranberry juice. Skim any foam from surface, and refrigerate until just thick enough to hold a line drawn by your finger, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Arrange orange segments in the bottom of a 1 1/2- to 2-quart gelatin mold or Bundt pan; pour gelatin mixture over oranges. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
- To unmold, dip bottom of mold briefly in hot water, invert onto a plate, and shake firmly to release.

PAM'S CRANBERRY AND ORANGE GELATIN SALAD
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.

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.
