HOLIDAY FRUIT SALAD (AKA GREEN STUFF)



Holiday Fruit Salad (Aka Green Stuff) image

We always make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas...it is a must have holiday menu item. You can substitute a container of Cool Whip for the freshly whipped cream. You could try other Jell-o flavors, but we are traditionalists and stick with lime. Some family members enjoy the addition of chopped pecans but I prefer without.

HOLIDAY CRANBERRY FRUIT SALAD



Holiday Cranberry Fruit Salad image

We enjoy this during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Traditionally this is made with cherry Jell-O, however, to be a bit healthier I now make it with "no sugar added" fruit juice. Feel free to substitute cherry gelatin and water (made to package directions) in place of the unflavored gelatin and fruit juice. While many enjoy the addition of pecans, I omit due to personal preference. If you have young children, I recommend peeling the apple. If using an unpeeled apple, use a red apple for the best color.

Categories     Christmas

Time 17m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1/4 ounce) package unflavored gelatin (Knox brand)
1 cup cranberry-raspberry juice or 1 cup other red juice, chilled
1 cup cranberry-raspberry juice or 1 cup other red juice, boiling
2 cups fresh cranberries, chopped in a food processor

1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1 apple, cored and chopped (peeled or unpeeled)
3/4 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over the 1 cup chilled juice. Let stand for 1 minute.

  • Stir the boiling juice into the gelatin mixture. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  • Refrigerate until chilled but not set.
  • Remove from the refrigerator. Stir in the chopped cranberries, pineapple tidbits, grapes, chopped apple, marshmallows, and chopped pecans (optional).
  • Chill until set, about 3 hours.

HOLIDAY EVERY DAY BERRY FRUIT SALAD



Holiday Every Day Berry Fruit Salad image

Easy, fast, good for you, and delicious, this fruit salad looks pretty, too. My wife Romelle made it for a Thanksgiving church luncheon and it was gone within a few minutes with rave reviews. The Cool Whip and yogurt mixture is the key, creating a light consistency that holds its shape. The amounts don't matter, just the ratio. I'm sure it's been done many ways, but it doesn't get any easier than this!
