Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 ounces Raspberry-flavored gelatin mix
• 2 cups Boiling water
• 1.5 cups Cold water
• 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (canned, in juice)
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the fresh cranberries thoroughly. Place them in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped, being careful not to puree them.

Step 2

Transfer the chopped cranberries to a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the granulated sugar and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to macerate.

Step 3

While the cranberries macerate, dissolve the raspberry-flavored gelatin mix in the boiling water in a large bowl. Stir for 2 minutes until fully dissolved, then add the cold water and mix well.

Step 4

Drain the crushed pineapple, reserving the juice. Add the pineapple chunks to the gelatin mixture.

Step 5

Stir the macerated cranberries, chopped pecans, and orange zest into the gelatin mixture until evenly combined.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch dish or a festive gelatin mold. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 7

To serve, slice into squares if using a dish or unmold onto a decorative platter if using a mold. Enjoy this refreshing and tangy salad!
