CRANBERRY RELISH GELATIN

Steps:

• Before I begin, I refrigerate the celery, oranges and apples; and freeze the cranberries. Having all the produce cold will help the gelatin set up quickly.
• Choose any red gelatin - raspberry, cherry, black cherry, etc. Bring 1 cup water to boil and dissolve gelatin in large bowl. Add 4-5 ice cubes and allow to cool.
• While gelatin is cooling, chop, grate or grind produce. I use a meat grinder to run all the produce through; however a grater can be used or even a food processor.
• I begin with the oranges - which produces mostly juice and will keep the apples from discoloring. Grind, chop or juice your oranges into a large bowl; next run the celery through, then apples and finally cranberries.
• If you really like cranberries use a whole bag, if it is not a real favorite, use less.
• Sprinkle the package of unflavored gelatin and sweetener (Splenda or other) over the chopped up produce and stir to dissolve.
• Optional: Add chopped nuts, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts and stir. Pour all the produce into the cooling gelatin, stir to taste and see if it is sweet enough for your taste, or if it is too sweet grind a few more cranberries inches.
• When you are satisfied, pour into covered container and refrigerate until fully set.

CRANBERRY ORANGE GELATIN RELISH

• Add in pecans and pulse until coarsely chopped.

• Note: This recipe has been our family for decades, and the last time my mother tried to make it, it didn't set. Prevailing opinion at the time was that perhaps she bought the wrong size of gelatin or that the formula of the gelatin had changed. At any rate, I copied this from a tattered recipe card that didn't specify size of box. It might be more firm if you also add in some unflavored gelatin in step 1. Good luck! Next time I try this I will modify the recipe, but if you do, by all means, comment away!
