CRANBERRY SALAD

total time:: 2 days

A lot!

This is a recipe from my dear friend, Gene Locker. I always make this at Thanksgiving and have enough to freeze leftover for Christmas!

ingredients

1 pkg. fresh cranberries, finely chopped in food processor
1 orange, peeled and chopped
1 apple, peeled and chopped
1 cup pecans, chopped
Small can crushed pineapple
Small jar maraschino cherries, halved
2 small boxes Strawberry Jello
1 1/2 cups sugar

directions

1
Combine all the fruit in a bowl. Add sugar and mix into fruit. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2
Next day: Make Jello but use 1/4 cup less water than is called for. Refrigerate and let it congeal a little bit. (Just until you can fold in fruit without it settling to bottom). After fruit is folded in, cover and let it completely congeal.

notes

My dear friend, Gene Locker, passed away in November 2007. She had leukemia. She and I were church secretaries at Central Church of Christ in Cleburne in the 1970's. I still miss her so much.
