1 1/2 cup(s) water
1 12 oz bag(s) fresh cranberries
1 teaspoon(s) almond extract
24 package(s) splenda
1 1/2 cup(s) finely chopped celery
2 - finely chopped granny smith apples

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!

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped celery
1 (16 ounce) package raw cranberries
1 orange, rind of
1 cup sugar
6 ounces raspberry Jell-O gelatin (orange or cranberry Jello will work, too)
2 cups boiling water
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

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).
