Cranberry Apple Pineapple Salad
Ingredients:
– 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
– 1 8oz. box raspberry jello
– 1 20oz. can crushed pineapple
– 1 granny smith apple
– 1C chopped pecans (optional)
To make:
– drain juice from crushed pineapple into a large glass measuring cup (set aside the pineapple in a medium bowl). Add water to the juice to get 3 cups. Boil liquids.
– Pour hot liquids into serving dish and dissolve the jello in the hot liquid.. Add can of whole berry sauce–break up in the jello. Put in fridge to start setting.
– Chop apple & pecans (I leave the skin on the apples). Mix with pineapple.
– Once the jello mixture has cooled and is just starting to set, stir in the fruit & nut mixture. Return to the fridge to set completely.
Note: I almost always make this the day/night before to let set completely & let the flavors combine. The picture shows a double recipe made in my trifle bowl.
The salad is just the right combination of sweet & tart! And, if you’re looking for some other great holiday recipes, check out these favorites from some of my bloggy friends:
