My grandmother made this cranberry orange Jell-O salad every Thanksgiving. It is delicious even without its creamy topping. This side dish is so yummy that I sometimes make it even when it’s not Thanksgiving! Depending on your salad’s shape, you can spread the topping in a layer over the Jell-O; or if you use a ring mold, put the topping in the center. You could also serve the topping in a bowl on the side, so it’s optional.
Ingredients
- 1 (6 ounce) package raspberry flavored Jell-O® mix
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
- 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup whipped topping
Directions
Step 1
Place gelatin into a bowl, pour in boiling water, and stir until gelatin dissolves. Mix in cranberry sauce, pineapple, celery, pecans, and orange zest until evenly blended. Pour gelatin mixture into a mold or serving dish.
Step 2
Chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
Step 3
To make topping, beat cream cheese with 1/2 of the whipped topping. Fold in remaining whipped topping until well blended.
Step 4
Unmold gelatin, then spread with topping mixture.
