Cranberry Gelatin Salad
I got this recipe from a magazine and made some changes to suit my family's tastes. This salad is especially nice during the holidays, but it's good with any main meal.
Ingredients
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) cherry or cranberry gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1-1/2 medium seedless oranges, quartered
- 1-3/4 cups sugar
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Reviews
I make one similar to this but with pecans and sugar free black cherry jello. I use only about 1/3 cup of sugar and no oranges or celery, but maybe I'll switch it up this year and see how it goes. I think I would also try using Splenda and cut back on the sugar (or eliminate it) even more. This sounds good I will try it but use sugar free substitutions (or reduce sugar) to make it more diabetic friendly.
I made this for Thanksgiving and got lots of compliments. I only put in half the sugar and it tasted sweet enough.
