Holiday Cran Raspberry Jello Recipes

CRAN-RASPBERRY JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• Mix strawberry jello with 1 1/2 cup hot water until dissolved.
• Stir in 1 cup whole cranberries and can crushed pineapple.
• Pour into large jello ring mold (*see note above), refrigerate until set.
• Spread with a thin layer of sour cream, let set.
• Mix raspberry jello with 1 1/2 cup hot water until dissolved.
• Stir in frozen raspberries.
• Slowly pour (or spoon) raspberry jello mixture on top of sour cream layer. refrigerate until set.
• Remove from jello mold and enjoy.
• **optional, you may use a little baking spray to spray mold for easy removal of jello
• If you don't have a jello mold, a large clear bowl or even a rectangle clear baking dish would work (but it's so pretty made in a jello mold)

OLD FASHIONED RASPBERRY CRANBERRY JELLO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Empty the jello packets into a large mixing bowl. Pour over 2 cups of boiling water. Stir with a whisk for two minutes until completely dissolved.
• Stir in *HALF* of the pink lemonade can (if using a 12 oz size) and the softened vanilla ice cream. The ice cream will melt and distribute evenly.
• Next stir in the cranberry sauce. It will also break apart and un-gel in the warm jello mixture.
• Follow this by folding in the raspberries. You may need to change from a whisk to a large spoon at this point.
• Spray the bundt pan or chosen dish well with nonstick cooking spray. We found a six cup capacity pan worked the best, with a little extra jello mixture left over. You can place any extra in smaller bowls also sprayed with nonstick spray.
• If using a flexible mold you should place it on a plate. Since it's not rigid it moves around a lot when trying to move from counter to the fridge!
• Pour or scoop in the jello mixture into the containers.
• Cover with cling film to avoid the jello absorbing any odors from your refrigerator. Sometimes Saran Wrap doesn't stick well and you may have to place aluminum foil on top of it to get a nice seal.
• Allow to set in the refrigerator for at least an hour. I like to go for 2 to 3. Overnight is great too!
• Once the jello is set, place in a warm water bath for 10 seconds to help loosen the edges. Invert on a plate. If it doesn't slide out, maintain a firm grip on both the plate and the back of the bundt pan and shake vigorously. You may have to repeat the water bath. See notes in the post for more information on this.
• Once on the platter, garnish as you desire. Use nuts, whipped cream, berries and fresh herbs like mint.
