This is a good, easy, make-ahead salad. You can find cinnamon red-hots in the cake-mix aisle of the supermarket; their flavor is not overpowering in this salad. I like to serve this at holiday time. I got this recipe from my cousin-in-law. Cooking time is actually chilling time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup cinnamon red-hot candies |
1 1/2 cups boiling water, divided |
1 (3 ounce) package cherry jell-o |
1 cup chopped apple, cored but not peeled |
lemon juice |
1 cup chopped celery |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Dissolve the cinnamon red-hots in 1/2 cup of the boiling water. Dissolve the cherry jello in remaining 1 cup boiling water. Add the dissolved cinnamon water and refrigerate until the consistency of unbeaten egg whites.
2. Fold in the chopped apples which you have tossed with a little lemon juice, celery and pecans. Pour into mold and refrigerate until set.
3. NOTE: Sometimes I use only 1 cup total boiling water for dissolving the red-hots and jello. I then leave out the remaining ingredients and add a 16-ounce can of applesauce. Pour into a mold and refrigerate until set.
