Ingredients

1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, in it's own juice
1 package (3 ounces) raspberry flavored gelatin
1 can (14 ounces) whole berry cranberry sauce
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

Drain pineapple, saving the juice. Add enough water to the juice to total 1-1/4 cups of liquid. In a saucepan, bring the liquid to a boil.
Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin until it's dissolved.
Break up the cranberry sauce with a fork and stir it into the gelatin mixture.
Cool until the mixture begins to thicken and then stir in the crushed pineapple, celery and nuts.
Pour into a mold and chill until set. (For best results first with non-stick spray so that the jello comes out easily.)

When stored in the refrigerator in a covered container, Jello can last up to a week. The taste and texture may deteriorate a little each day, possibly getting a little more watery. When this happens, just drain it off or blot with paper towels.

Just saw a Jello salad recipe variation that includes 2 cans (6-ounces each) mandarin oranges, drained and skips the celery. May try this next time.
