How to Make Apricot Congealed Salad

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup of juice, and 1 (3 ounce) package of apricot flavored gelatin.
  2. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup of reserved pineapple juice.
  4. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch dish.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  6. In a separate bowl, gently fold in 1 cup buttermilk, 8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed), and 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  7. Pour the mixture over the set apricot gelatin layer.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld completely and for the salad to fully set.
