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.

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 than frozen or canned cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen or canned cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will become mushy and lose their tart flavor. Cook them just until they start to pop.
  • Use a good quality orange juice: The orange juice is a key ingredient in this salad, so be sure to use a good quality fresh-squeezed orange juice.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This salad is best served chilled, so be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh orange slices or cranberries: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Orange Gelatin Salad is a classic holiday dish that is always a hit. It is easy to make, delicious, and festive. This salad is sure to please everyone at your table.

This versatile salad can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or dessert. It is also a great way to use up leftover cranberries after Thanksgiving or Christmas.
