Cranberry Jello Salad

This is another Thanksgiving favorite - Mom’s cranberry jello salad.  I just can’t imagine Thanksgiving (or Christmas) dinner without it.  

CRANBERRY JELLO SALAD

1 pound package cranberries

Two 3 oz. packages red jello

1 cup sugar (can also use Splenda)

1 envelope unflavored gelatin (Knox)

2 apples

2 oranges

Grind cranberries, unpeeled apples, unpeeled oranges.  Sprinkle sugar over ground fruit and stir.  Dissolve the Knox gelatin in the COLD water called for on the jello boxes.  Then, mix the red jello with the hot water called for on the boxes.  Pour both jellos over the ground fruit, stir and chill for several hours.  If you use a mold, be sure to oil it very lightly with vegetable oil so the salad will slip out easily.
