What You'll Do
- Mix together a 3 oz package of cranberry Jell-O or strawberry Jell-O, 1 cup boiling water, and ¼ cup cold water. It’s important to have all ingredients ready before you combine. Combine ingredients until Jell-O is dissolved. Let stand until slightly firm, around 8 minutes or so.
- Meanwhile, strain the 14oz can whole berry cranberry sauce and 20 oz can crushed pineapple then combine in a bowl with ½ cup chopped walnuts.
- Add to your Jell-O and stir until combined.
- Pour mixture into your Jell-O mold or bowl. Place a cover on your Jell-O mold or bowl and let set for at least 2 hours in the fridge. You can make this a few days in advance of your meal, of course!
- It’s time to un-mold your Jell-O! If you are using a bowl, just remove the cover and serve from the bowl with a spoon.
- Un-molding the Jell-O mold can be a nerve racking thrill ride that will either change your life or destroy it!!! Or you can be like me and not give a fuck and be happy no matter what because it’s SO DELICIOUS!!!!!
- Take the cover off of your mold and place a dish on top. Place one hand on the bottom of the plate and one hand on the top of the mold. Apply pressure to this glorious sandwich and flip. Jell-O molds are made so the Jell-O just slides right off, so you got this— you are doing great, sweetie!
- She is flipped. Now, we open from the bottom and let the magic happen. Remember that no matter what, you are a genius angel human who will soon be the crown king/queen/genderless royalty of Thanksgiving!!!
- She is a wonder! Perfectly imperfect and perfectly delicious. And also part Jell-O which you don’t have to tell anyone. Your call.
