Ingredients
| Cherry jell | o | |
| Hot water | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Sugar | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Lemon juice | 1 Tablespoon | |
| Drained crushed pineapple | 8 Ounce | |
| Pineapple juice | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Ground cranberries | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Orange | 1 | |
| Pecans | 1/2 Cup (8 tbs) |
Directions
MAKING:
1. Boil the cup of water. Dissolve the Jell-o in the hot water in an 8-inch square pan mix well. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and pineapple juice. Stir to dissolve well.
Note: You can substitute the 8x8 dish and use a 9x13 dish, it seems to gel up a bit better that way.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Chill overnight.
3. Grandma's Notes: Chop up the pecans first before getting the blender wet. Or you could just buy pre-chopped pecans and save a step. Use the blender or food processor to chop up cranberries, then orange, seeded, and partially peeled. The chopped peel gives it that special zing!
SERVING:
4. Serve and Enjoy!
