NANA'S CRANBERRY SALAD
This recipe is my Great Grandmother's...It has been in our family for many many years. The celery and walnuts add great texture and flavor. The preparation can be done in between other tasks and it's definitely worth it and not your plain old cranberry sauce! Sometimes I make this throughout the year and freeze it in individual containers for a fantastic breakfast. It freezes very well.

Steps:
- Chop the cranberries in a food processor. Place the cranberries in a bowl, add sugar and set aside in the fridge.
- Dissolve gelatin into boiled water. Once dissoved, add ice and stir until melted.
- Pour gelatin into a 13x9 glass pan and set in the fridge until almost set (20-30 minutes).
- While the gelatin is setting, chop all other ingredients:
- Quarter apple & remove seeds, but leave on the skin. Chop in food processor and place in a mixing bowl.
- Peel the orange, leaving on about 1/2 of the peel. Quarter and chop. Place in the bowl.
- Cut seedless grapes in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place in the bowl.
- Quarter the celery and add the walnuts to processor for chopping. Place in the bowl.
- Once you have completed chopping, the gelatin should be set. Take the 13x9 pan out of the fridge, stir in the cranberry mixture & the other chopped ingredients.
- Spread everything out evenly & return to fridge. Allow gelatin to finish setting (about another 20-30 minutes).
- NOTE: If gelatin gets solid before your ingredients are ready, you can still make it. It will mix okay and set up again.

Steps:
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then remove from the heat. Stir in the gelatin until completely dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 cup cold water, the cranberry sauce and pineapple. Mix well, ensuring you break apart any large chunks of the cranberry sauce. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch pan. Cover and place in the refrigerator until firm, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
- Beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the milk and mix until completely combined. The frosting should be thick but still pourable. Carefully spread the cream cheese frosting in a thin layer over the cranberry sauce. Zest the orange directly over the frosting. Serve up in individual squares.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe ingredients. This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor.
- Chop the fruit and nuts evenly. This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the salad.
- Don't overmix the salad. Overmixing can cause the fruit and nuts to become mushy.
- Serve the salad chilled. This will help to keep the flavors fresh and crisp.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each serving for an extra special treat.
Conclusion:
Nanas cranberry salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and sweet and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
