Ingredients

6 ounces Raspberry-flavored gelatin (Jello)
2 cups Boiling water
2 cups Cold water
14 ounces Whole berry cranberry sauce
8 ounces Crushed pineapple (drained)
1 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the raspberry-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add 2 cups of cold water to the bowl and stir to combine.

Step 3

Stir in the whole berry cranberry sauce. Break apart the cranberry sauce with a spoon to ensure it’s evenly distributed within the mixture.

Step 4

Mix in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added crunch and texture.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch glass dish or a decorative mold, depending on your preference.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.

Step 8

Once set, slice into squares (or unmold if using a decorative mold) and serve chilled.
