This congealed salad is a cool, delicious twist on a retro luncheon staple.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 2 cups diced fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 3 (3-oz.) packages strawberry-flavored gelatin
  • 2 cups cranberry juice, chilled
  • 1 (8-oz.) can crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 cup diced celery

How to Make It

Step 1

Process cranberries in a food processor 30 seconds or until coarsely chopped, stopping once to scrape down sides.

Step 2

Stir together cranberries, strawberries, and sugar in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Stir together 2 cups boiling water and gelatin in a large bowl, stirring 2 minutes or until gelatin dissolves. Stir in juice, and chill 30 minutes or until consistency of unbeaten egg whites. Stir in cranberry mixture, pineapple, and celery. Spoon mixture into 12 lightly greased (2/3-cup) molds; cover and chill molds 8 hours or until firm.

I liked the idea of something light and cool to balance a summer menu. But this dish is just too sweet to be part of an entrée. It is best used as a dessert. Adding a mildly sweetened cold gelatin enhances the flavors of a savory but this just tastes too much like strawberry Jell-O. A couple of notes: I didn't have a Jell-O mold so I used a bowl--not a good idea. It looked like the blob from the 50’s movie of the same name. I would only make this again as a dessert—skipping the celery and using a fancy mold. Anybody have a recipe for a gelatin dish that works with a savory entree?

I made this for Easter lunch, minus the celery (it just seemed strange). It turned out really yummy and a hit with everyone.
