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.

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.
