Cranberry Salad With Marshmallows
- 16 ounces cranberries, frozen in the bag
- 1 medium orange, peeled, can add zest of 1/2 orange for more zip
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup pineapple bits, drained well
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup apple, any, cored, diced, with peels
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 cup small marshmallow, snipped in half
- 3 ounces lemon gelatin
- 1 cup water, boiling
- Grind frozen cranberries with orange. Mix with sugar. Cover and store overnight. If using a food processor, leave chunky. If you over process the cranberries in the food processor, and the cranberries are too wet, remove some of the liquid.
- The following day:
- Mix gelatin with hot water, stir until gelatin is dissolved. Refrigerate and chill until gelatin is moderately set.
- In the mean time, in a large bowl: Snip marshmallows in half. If using large marshmallows snip into several smaller pieces. NOTE: if you do not snip them they will float to the top of the mold and not be incorporated into the mold.
- Add drained pineapple to cranberry - orange mixture; add marshmallows. Toss to combine.
- Prepare celery, apples, pecans. Add to above mixture.
- Once gelatin is moderately jelled, add to all the other ingredients and combine well.
- Pour into your favorite serving bowl.
- Refrigerate, preferably all day or overnight. The relish will be thick like a cranberry relish, it will not set up in the bowl.
- Best if prepared 2 days in advance.
