Aunt Brennie's Holiday Cranberry Salad image

This is my favorite item on the thanksgiving table. It is tangy, sweet, crunchy and all around yummy. I find myself often searching for this recipe, so have put it here for safe keeping. This is best if you make it the day before which is great to get one thing out of the way before the big cooking day.

Categories     Oranges

Time 2h35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces red Jell-O (strawberry, raspberry, cranberry)
1 small orange, un peeled (preferably organic)
2 cups apples, approx. 2 medium (diced)
1 cup walnuts, chopped (pecans also ok)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup crushed pineapple in juice (refrigerated)
1 1/2 cups water, cold
4 cups raw cranberries (about 1 bag if you find a fresh one)
1/2 cup sugar (I only add 1/3 a cup)

Steps:

  • Dissolve Jello in boiling water.
  • Add pineapple and the cold water.
  • Chill until thickened (optional, but recommended).
  • Cut orange into wedges and remove seeds. The orange peel adds a nice tang, but if you want to cut back on the tang, then you can peel some of the orange, but the peel makes it good.
  • Put orange and cranberries through food processor and pulse as you would cole slaw -- don't puree. May take several batches. I do about a cup of cranberries and a wedge of orange per batch in my VitaMix blender. Pour results into a large bowl.
  • Mix in diced apples and sugar and chopped nuts.
  • Fold in thickened jello.
  • Pour into a mold or just a bowl and chill for a few hours. (I've never used a mold and tried to turn it out myself, I just pour directly into a nice looking serving bowl.
  • This is best if you make it the day before.

This salad is the worst thing I've ever eaten. I would rather eat a bowl of nails.

This salad is a waste of money. The ingredients are expensive and the salad doesn't even taste that good.

This salad is not worth the calories. It's loaded with sugar and fat.

This salad is way too time-consuming to make. It took me over an hour to chop all the fruit and nuts.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out right. The cranberries were still hard and the dressing was too runny.

This salad was a disaster! The cranberries were too tart, the oranges were too bitter, and the pineapple was too sweet. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

This salad was easy to make and looked beautiful, but the flavor was just okay. I think I would add some more spices or herbs next time to give it more flavor.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of cranberry salad, but this one was really good! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the salad wasn't too sweet. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad is a staple at our holiday gatherings. It's always a crowd-pleaser, and it's so easy to make. I love that I can make it ahead of time, which makes it even more convenient.

This salad was easy to make and turned out delicious! I used fresh cranberries and oranges, and the flavor was amazing. I will definitely be making this again for my next potluck.

I made this salad for Thanksgiving and it was a huge success! It was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the pecans added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again for Christmas.

This cranberry salad was a hit at our holiday party! It was so refreshing and flavorful, and everyone loved the combination of cranberries, oranges, and pineapple.
