Cranberry Salad

Original Recipe from: Lucy Griffin-Bowers

This is a recipe from my grandmother’s collection. Side dishes were her specialty. When she would stay at our house for visits, we all had a hand in putting dinner on the table. Mother would make the main dish, Grandma would make the side dish, and I would make the dessert. We were such a good team. Get some family members, or friends, and make your own team. The time spent working in the kitchen together will be a real bonding experience! Enjoy!

Ingredients

1/2 pound Cranberries
1/2 cup nuts (Grandma always used Walnuts)
1 cup Sugar
1 package Lemon Jell-O
1/2 Orange
1/2 cup Apples
1 can (#2) crushed Pineapple

Directions

Grind: Orange, Cranberries, Apples, and Nuts together. Note: I use a food processor for this step, but they didn’t have those back in my Grandmother’s day. Chop up the ingredients in the food processor until they are small chunks; be careful that you don’t make a “mush” out of them though.

Dissolve Jell-O in 1/2 cup boiling water.

Boil 1 cup Sugar in about ½ cup water, and then add to the Jell-O.

Let cool until it begins to thicken, then add the rest of the ingredients and chill before serving.
