BEST EVER CRANBERRY SALAD

• Add cranberry mixture to jell-o. Mix well.
• Cover with saran wrap and set in fridge to set.

GRANDMA'S CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• 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!
