How to Make Cherry Mincemeat Salad

  1. Break 1 cup of mincemeat into small pieces and cover with 1 cup of water in a saucepan.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
  3. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. In a separate bowl, prepare 1 package (3 oz) of unflavored gelatin according to package directions using 3 cups of cold water.
  5. Once the gelatin begins to thicken (but is still pourable), gently stir in the cooled mincemeat mixture and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Pour the mixture into a mold or individual serving dishes.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the salad is set and firm.
  8. Serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts (optional).
