I can't remember where I found this recipe, but I have been making it for years to go with the Thanksgiving turkey. I really like jellied cranberry sauce, so this recipe hits the spot. I used a Google image until I can get my own photo taken.

How To Make pam's cranberry and orange gelatin salad

Step 1

In a bowl, completely dissolve gelatin in boiling water stirring 2-3 minutes. Add pineapple, celery, orange juice and lemon juice. Mix well. Chill until partially set. Chop nuts, section and cut the orange and cube jellied cranberry sauce into 3/4 inch cubes while waiting for it to thicken.

Step 2

Remove thickened gelatin mixture from fridge and stir in nuts and orange segment pieces. Stir cranberry sauce carefully into chilled mixture. (Try to keep the jellied sauce cubes intact if possible) Pour into an 11-in. x 9-in. casserole dish
Step 3

Chill until firm 2-3 hr or overnight. Cut into squares; serve each on a lettuce leaf and top with a dollop of mayonnaise.
