Festive Cranberry Jell-O Salad
Adapted from Kraft
- 1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
- 2 pkg. (3 oz. each) JELL-O Strawberry or Raspberry or Cranberry Flavor Gelatin

- 1 pear or apple, peeled and diced
- 2/3 cup chopped walnuts {optional}

Drain pineapple, reserving juice in a 4-cup glass measuring cup {or similar.} Add enough water to reserved pineapple juice to measure 3 cups. Microwave 2-3 minutes, until mixture comes to a boil.
Add to dry gelatin mixes in medium bowl {or a 9×13 glass dish, like I used}; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cranberry sauce. Refrigerate 1-1/2 hours or until slightly thickened.

Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Spread Cool Whip over the top prior to serving.
