No Cook Cranberry Salad Recipes

CLASSIC CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Bring the cranberries, brown sugar, and orange juice to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries pop and mixture thickens, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the Bartlett pears, pineapple, celery, and pecans. Transfer to a serving bowl; cover and chill salad 4 to 24 hours.

CRANBERRY JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve Jell-O in boiling water, whisking for 2 minutes. Whisk in the cold water. Cool in the refrigerator just until slightly thickened (about 45 minutes - 1 hour).
• Gently skim off any foam or bubbles on top of the Jell-O.
• Stir in oranges, pineapple, cranberry sauce, and pecans. Pour into an 8-inch square dish that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Chill in the refrigerator until completely set (at least 4 hours or overnight).
• Slice into squares and garnish with optional toppings.
