Jellied Cranberry Nut Candies

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. + chilling YIELD: 2-1/2 pounds.
Even before they've licked the last bit of sugar off their fingers, folks are asking for more of this blue-ribbon candy. It took first place at the county fair, and everyone's sweet on these pretty squares.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 1 can (14 ounces) jellied cranberry sauce
  • 1-3/4 cups sugar, divided
  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) lemon gelatin
  • 1 package (3 ounces) orange gelatin
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts

Directions

  • 1. Line an 8-in. square pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the cranberry sauce, 1 cup sugar and lemon and orange gelatin. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in walnuts. Pour into prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • 2. Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Discard foil; cut into 1-in. squares. Roll in remaining sugar. Store at room temperature between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. Best when stored at least three days before serving.
