Grammy's Cranberry Jello Salad image

This is a holiday staple for my family. My Grammy got this recipe from her mother. Grammy passed it down to my aunt who has now passed the torch to me. :)

Time 45m

Yield 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple
2 (3 ounce) packages lemon Jell-O gelatin
7 ounces ginger ale
1 (16 ounce) can cranberry sauce
8 ounces cream cheese
1 (2 ounce) package Dream Whip
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Drain pineapple, reserving juice.
  • Add water to make 1 cup.
  • Boil; add Jello, stirring to dissolve.
  • Stir in ginger ale.
  • Blend pineapple and cranberry sauce.
  • Fold into Jello.
  • Chill in 9x9 inch dish.
  • Make Dream Whip according to package directions.
  • Beat in cream cheese.
  • Spread over Jello and top with pecans.
  • May add 1/4 to 1/3 cup powdered sugar to topping, if desired.
  • Skip the nuts if you don't like them. Also, I tend to buy two of the smaller cans of cranberry sauce, one jellied, one chunky -- I like the extra texture. AND -- make this the night before or your frosting will be runny!
