This is my mom's cranberry salad that she makes every year for the holidays. I love it and she does, too. But that's about it. The rest of the family really isn't into cranberries--canned or otherwise. Last year she decided not to go to the trouble of fixing it for just 2 people so she picked up a pre-made cranberry salad at the grocery store. Big mistake. Nothing could top her version so this year it made it back on the table for Thanksgiving. And I can't wait for her to fix it again for Christmas.
Cranberry Salad
3 oz box raspberry jello
1 cup hot water
1/2 orange, ground (rind, too)
juice of 1 orange
1 cup sugar
1 pkg raw cranberries, ground
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup chopped nuts
Dissolve jello in hot water. Process 1/2 an orange and cranberries in a food processor. Add juice from 1 orange, sugar, pineapple, nuts and mix well. Add mixture to jello, stir, pour into serving bowl and chill.
