"CRANCRACK" CRANBERRY SALAD
This was my mothers recipe, and named by my son because it is so addictive. By replacing the Jell-O® with sugar-free Jello-O®, using no-sugar-added pineapple, and your choice of sugar substitute, this turns into a reduced-carb recipe. If you don't have a grinder, use a blender and water to grind the cranberries, then drain.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart, slightly sweet flavor that is perfect for this salad. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the cranberries. The cranberries should be cooked until they are just softened, but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
- Use a good quality gelatin. The gelatin is what gives this salad its firm texture. Make sure to use a good quality gelatin that is free of impurities.
- Chill the salad thoroughly before serving. This will help the gelatin to set and the salad to firm up.
- Garnish the salad with fresh mint or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
Conclusion:
This sugar-free cranberry gelatin salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover cranberries. The salad is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give this sugar-free cranberry gelatin salad a try.
