My sister and I discovered this recipe while looking for something different to serve at holiday time. The fruity flavor goes especially well with poultry or pork.

Ingredients

2 packages (3 ounces each) strawberry gelatin
3/4 cup boiling water
1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in water. Add cranberry sauce, lemon juice, zest and nutmeg; mix well. Drain pineapple; add juice to gelatin mixture and set pineapple aside. Chill until syrupy.
Whisk in sour cream. Add the pineapple and pecans. Pour into an 8-cup mold coated with nonstick spray. Chill until firm.
