Introduction

This is one my mom has made for more than 40 years. For the original, double the recipe and use the full-sugar version of jello and actual sugar. This is one my mom has made for more than 40 years. For the original, double the recipe and use the full-sugar version of jello and actual sugar.

Ingredients

    1 box sugar free strawberry jello
    1 cups boiling water
    3/4 cups sugar substitute
    1/2 quart of cranberries - wash, stem, drain, grind in food chopper (3/4 of 12-oz pkg)
    1 c. crushed pineapple (with juice)
    1 whole orange (1/2 peeled and 1/2 not peeled) - grind in food chopper, (with juice)
    1/2 cup chopped pecans
    1/2 cup chopped celery (optional) (I do these by hand)

    Mix all together and let set overnight or at least 12 hours.


Tips

Mom (80) still uses the old-fashioned hand grinder she got as a wedding present in the 50s, but a food processor would presumably work, as long as the pieces are COARSELY chopped. (You really do want to chop the celery by hand, though.)


Directions

Coarsely grind cranberries and half-peeled orange.
Mix jello with boiling water and Splenda in an 8x8 or 9x9 pan until all is dissolved.
Mix in ground cranberries and orange, crushed pineapple with juice, chopped pecans, and chopped celery.
Refrigerate overnight or at least 12 hours.

Serving Size: Probably makes 10 1/2-cup servings

Number of Servings: 10
