Cranberry Salad
Ingredients:
1 (9 oz.) can crushed unsweetened pineapple, packed in juice
1 (3 oz) sugar-free cherry gelatin
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Sugar substitute equivalent to ¼ cup of sugar
1 cup fresh cranberries, ground
1 small orange, peeled, quartered and ground
1 cup chopped celery
½ cup pecans or other nuts, broken into pieces (optional)
Directions:
Wash your hands with soap and warm water.
Assemble these supplies: liquid measuring cup, tablespoon, chopper or food processor, mixing bowls, cutting board, knife, dry measuring cup, mixing spoon, large baking pan gelatin or eight small molds and a small colander.
Strain the juice from the pineapple and save it. Set the pineapple aside for later use.
Mix pineapple juice with water to obtain 2 cups of liquid.
Prepare the gelatin according to package directions, using the juice-water mixture for the liquid.
Once the gelatin has dissolved, stir in the lemon juice. Cool it until it is partially set.
In another bowl, combine pineapple, sugar substitute, cranberries, orange, celery and walnuts.
Add this mixture to the partially set gelatin and stir until combined.
Pour the mixture into a large mold or several smaller molds. Cool it until it is firm.
Note: Do not use fresh or frozen pineapple in this recipe. This will prevent the gelatin from gelling.
Make 8 servings.
Menu Suggestions: Serve cranberry salad on a lettuce leaf with chicken or tuna salad, half a whole wheat bun, a cup of vegetable soup and an oatmeal cookie.
