GRANDMA'S CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Boil the cup of water. Dissolve the Jell-o in the hot water in an 8-inch square pan mix well. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and pineapple juice. Stir to dissolve well. Note: You can substitute the 8x8 dish and use a 9x13 dish, it seems to gel up a bit better that way.
• 2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Chill overnight.
• 3. Grandma's Notes: Chop up the pecans first before getting the blender wet. Or you could just buy pre-chopped pecans and save a step. Use the blender or food processor to chop up cranberries, then orange, seeded, and partially peeled. The chopped peel gives it that special zing!

MA'S CRAZY GOOD CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat until just boiling, the reserved juice in place of water (use only half the amount that is called for on the Jell-O box directions,) to dissolve the Jell-O. Remove from heat, stir in Jell-O until dissolved.
• After Jell-O is dissolved, add the cranberry sauce to the hot liquid to help it dissolve, too. Let cool, add to mixing bowl, continue cooling. Place in refrigerator to gel. Check periodically.
• When the mixture starts to gel, fold in the fruit and pecans. Chill, again.
• Just before the mixture completely sets, gently fold in the mini-marshmallows. Doing so too soon will cause them to float to the top but you can go back and fold again a little later.
• Add to serving dish and return to refrigerator to finish setting (gelling.) This makes for a beautiful dish in a clear glass bowl.
