Best Holiday Jello Salad Recipes

HOLIDAY CRANBERRY JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil.
• Add hot water to a med-large tempered bowl along with the orange juice and jello flavoring packets and disssolve thoroughly.
• Chill until syrupy (30-40 mins)in a 9 x 9 or 9 X 13 dish (the only slight difference will be the depth of salad).
• Chop celery finely in Food Processor, remove to a small dish and set aside.
• Peel rind close to the zest.
• Grind rind and cranberries in food processor until chopped ever so thinly (I remember when we chopped all by hand!).
• Add sugar and mix with cranberry mixture. I stir right into food processor for one less dish.
• When jello is syrupy, add cranberry mixture, nuts and finely chopped celery, mixing well in your dish.
• Or you can transfer into a mold.
• Refrigerate until firm (several hours).

LOW CARB HOLIDAY CRUNCHY CRANBERRY JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 1 1/2 cups water, Splenda, almond extract and cranberries in saucepan over medium heat with cover on pan until most of the cranberries burst open. Stir frequently. It will thicken as you go.
• While this is simmering, chop celery, apples and pecans (you can buy the pecans already chopped but it costs more).
• After the berries are ready, remove from heat and stir in the two packages of Black Cherry Jello. Return to heat and add in 3/4 cup water and package of Raspberry Jello. Let reach a boil then remove from heat.
• Pour into glass pan or I prefer one of those fancy glass bowls on a pedestal for better presentation and refrigerate until set. Can start in freezer if you are in a hurry, but regular setting time in the fridge is overnight. Serve and enjoy!

HOLIDAY JELLO SALAD/DESSERT

Steps:

• First things first. Put your pineapple and oranges in the frig for at least 12 hours. Also, make your Dream Whip ahead of time and let it get cold. Open your Mandarin Oranges and cut each segment in half. Drain the juice from the oranges and pineapple thoroughly. If you do it right, you should get the 2 cups you need for the jello. Drain the liquid from your cottage cheese using a strainer. Heat up 2 cups water and pour it in a very large bowl. Stir in jello mix and then cold liquid from the fruit. Let it set in the frig about 2-3 hours. Remove from frig and mix in the other ingredients in this order. First the fruit. Then you add the mini marshmallows and Dream Whip. Let it set a little more. Then you add the cottage cheese. Mix well between each addition. Let it set overnight. Enjoy.
