This way I don’t have to stress about it setting up in time. I always make this the day before, at least. It can be easy to get the liquid sloshing around and before you know it it is all over the place. Stir gently so you don’t end up with Jello all over the place. It takes a while for the jello powder to dissolve and it takes even longer for the cranberry sauce to melt into the jello mixture. The best tip I have is to be patient and gently mix the ingredients. Stir crushed pineapple into jello mixture and return to the refrigerator for about 3 hours or until set. Add 14 ounce can of whole berry cranberry sauce and stir until melted, about 5 – 7 minutes. In a large bowl or casserole dish pour hot water and juice mixture over jello and mix until the jello powder is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.Pour into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add enough water to the reserved pineapple juice to equal 3 cups.Drain a 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple, reserving the juice.
Whole Cranberry Sauce – the type without whole berries can be used. It also helps to make this an easy recipe. Just 3 simple ingredients are all you need to make this festive side dish that is perfect on any holiday table.Ĭrushed Pineapple – canned pineapple is better than fresh pineapple in this instance because you need the pineapple juice. Wondering why exactly it is called jello salad I googled it and found a very interesting article about congealed salads on the National Museum of American History website. I have no idea the method she used to make hers, but Kraft’s method seemed pretty good to me so that is how I do mine. I think she used orange juice or zest or something, but I wasn’t sure so I left that out too.
So Aunt Betty’s did have nuts and they do add a nice crunchy texture but I decided to leave those out because one of my kids isn’t a fan of nuts. Although Lee would not mind if I left them in. But Aunt Betty used raspberry jello, so that is one change I made.ĭoes this one have crushed pineapple? Yep.ĭoes this one use whole berry cranberry sauce? Yes!ĭid Aunt Betty use pears in hers? Nope. I thought to myself, does it have jello? Yes it does. While searching for a similar recipe on the internet I found this one from Kraft.
Lee’s Aunt Betty used to make a jello salad kind of like this just about every year before she passed away. This dish is tangy and sweet and goes perfectly with the traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
