Cranberry Salad And La Maes No Fail Pie Crust Recipes

CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Dissolve gelatin in hot water, then add cold water. Cool mixture and set aside.
• Wash and grind cranberries. Pare and chop apples (and oranges, if using) into small chunks.
• Stir together the ground cranberries, chopped apples and oranges (or pineapple) nuts, and sugar.
• Add to slightly thickened gelatin mixture; then pour into a mold and chill until salad is firm and holds its shape. Unmold onto salad greens.

CRUSTLESS CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 inch pie pan.
• Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the cranberries and the walnuts, and toss to coat. Stir in the butter, beaten eggs, and almond extract. If you are using frozen cranberries, the mixture will be very thick. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

ALTON BROWN MA MAE'S CONGEALED CHRISTMAS SALAD

Steps:

• Sprinkle the gelatins in a 9 by 13 glass-baking dish and slowly stir in the boiling water. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate approximately 30 minutes or just until gelatin begins to set. (If the gelatin sets, you won't be able to stir in the goodies.)
• Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl, combine the canned pineapple and its juice, with the pecans and the whole cranberry sauce. Add mixture to slightly thickened gelatin and stir until thoroughly combined. Return to refrigerator until firmly set. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
• *Don't substitute with low-sugar or sugar-free. Neither will set properly.
