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.

Adapted from Anne Quatrano's Summerland: Recipes for Celebrating With Southern Hospitality (Rizzoli).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Time 8h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for mold
1 1/2 pounds fresh or thawed frozen cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1 cup fresh orange juice (from 3 to 4 oranges), strained
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon unflavored powdered gelatin (from two 1/4-ounce envelopes)

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a 1-quart nonreactive mold or a few smaller molds. Combine cranberries, sugar, zest, orange juice, lemon juice, and 1 cup water in a large saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and are completely softened, 12 to 15 minutes. Pass mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, gently pressing on solids (pressing too hard will make the mixture cloudy). Skim any foam from surface; cover to keep warm.
  • Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water in a bowl; let soften 1 minute. Stir gelatin mixture into warm cranberry mixture until gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour mixture into mold and refrigerate until set, at least 8 hours.
  • Dip top of mold into a bowl of hot water 30 seconds, then run a paring knife around edge to loosen. Place a serving platter on bottom of mold; quickly invert platter and mold together. Tap to release; remove mold. (If gelatin doesnâ??t release easily, return to hot water for a few seconds.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they will not hold their shape as well.
  • Chop the cranberries coarsely. This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a food processor to finely chop the nuts. This will help to distribute them evenly throughout the relish.
  • Add the sugar and vinegar to the cranberries and nuts and stir to coat. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Pour the relish into a mold and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, before serving. This will help the relish to set and hold its shape.
  • Serve the relish cold, with roasted turkey, chicken, or ham.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Cranberry Relish Mold is a classic holiday side dish that is easy to make and always a hit. The tartness of the cranberries is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the sugar and the crunch of the nuts. This relish is a great way to add a festive touch to your holiday table.
