Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large bowl, carefully pour boiling water over the cherry gelatin. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved, ensuring a smooth, lump-free consistency. (Approximately 2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a saucepan over medium heat, gently melt the jellied cranberry sauce, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Once melted, pour the cranberry sauce into the gelatin mixture and stir to combine. (Approximately 5 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Fold in the diced apple, chopped walnuts, and crushed pineapple with its juice. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. (Approximately 3 minutes)

04

Step
8 hrs

Pour the mixture into a decorative mold or serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the salad to fully set and the flavors to meld together beautifully.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur or a teaspoon of almond extract.
If you prefer a smoother texture, you can use cranberry sauce without whole berries.
Garnish with fresh cranberries and a sprig of mint before serving for an elegant presentation.
