Steps:
- Either early in the day or the night before drain the pineapple reserving the juice. Squeeze out as much juice as you can to yield at least 2 cups. You will need it in the next step.
- In a very large bowl, dissolve the jello in the 2 cups boiling water. When thoroughly dissolved add the reserved pineapple juice and stir well. Refrigerate until the soft set stage.
- Meanwhile grind the cranberries in a food grinder ( I use my KitchenAid with the grinder attachment). Add the ground cranberries and the remaining ingredients to the soft set jello. Mix well, cover and chill until set or pour into your favorite mold and chill until set.

Tips for Making Jello Cranberry Salad for Thanksgiving:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor than frozen or canned cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can substitute frozen or canned cranberries, but be sure to drain them well before using.
- Choose the right gelatin. There are two types of gelatin: powdered and sheet. Powdered gelatin is more common and easier to find, but sheet gelatin is preferred by some bakers because it gives a clearer, firmer jelly.
- Dissolve the gelatin properly. To dissolve powdered gelatin, sprinkle it over the surface of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. To dissolve sheet gelatin, soak it in cold water for 5 minutes, then drain it and squeeze out the excess water. Then, melt the gelatin in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is completely dissolved.
- Add the cranberries. Once the gelatin is dissolved, add the cranberries and any other desired ingredients, such as nuts, celery, or pineapple. Stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a mold. Pour the cranberry mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish or a bundt pan. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the salad is set.
- Serve the salad. Unmold the salad onto a serving platter and slice it into pieces. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
Conclusion:
Jello cranberry salad is a classic Thanksgiving dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its bright red color and sweet and tart flavor, it's a festive and delicious addition to any holiday table. Whether you're a seasoned baker or new to the kitchen, you can make this salad with confidence. So give it a try this Thanksgiving and see for yourself why it's a beloved holiday tradition.
