I got the original recipe from my Mom and updated it a bit as we love lots of nuts! This is a great side dish for any type of meat - especially ham, chicken or turkey. Adds a colorful splash to any dining table!

How to Make Drema's Cranberry Congealed Salad
- This works better in pyrex or glass oblong dish approximately 13 x 9 x 2. I spray a small amount of non-stick unflavord coating and gently wipe out excess with paper towel. Set aside dish.
- In large mixing bowl place boiling water and dissolve all jello by stirring thoroughly. Set aside.
- In separate bowl mix wholeberry cranberry sauce, crushed pineapple and the 1/2 cup reserve liquid, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, chopped apples, orange zest and pecans. Mix well. Fold and stir gently into the dissolved jello mixture above.
- Chill overnite in fridge. The mixture will be very firm. At serving time I cut squares and serve on a nice serving platter decorated with curly lettuce leaves or you can create your own serving ideas.
- Optional ingredient that can be added is 1/2 cup chopped celery. Enjoy!
