My husband's family has been using this traditional and delicious salad for holiday dinners for five generations. The women used to grind the cranberries and the orange in a food grinder, which was a messy job! Thank goodness for food processors! It can be made up to three days before serving, which is always a help when we are cooking for those holiday meals. Keep covered in refrigerator. Cook time is for chilling. Ingredients:
2 (12 ounce) packages frozen cranberries |
2 (3 ounce) boxes cranberry jell-o gelatin or 2 (3 ounce) boxes other red gelatin |
2 cups boiling water |
2 cups sugar, divided |
1 large navel orange, cut into chunks, rind included |
1 1/4 cups red seedless grapes or 1 1/4 cups green grapes, cut into halves |
3/4 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water; set aside.
2. In food processor, chop the cranberries while still frozen.
3. Add to the gelatin with 1 1/2 cup of sugar, stir to combine.
4. In food processor, chop orange chunks until finely chopped; add to cranberry mixture.
5. Stir in grape halves and pecans.
6. Pour into decorative bowl or mold and chill overnight.
7. Adjust sugar, if necessary.
