How to Make Cranberry Gelatin Mold

  1. In a large bowl, sprinkle 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup of boiling water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until completely dissolved.
  2. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until thoroughly combined.
  3. Refrigerate until the mixture begins to thicken around the edges, about 30-45 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in 1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, and 1/2 cup finely chopped celery.
  5. Lightly grease a 6-cup ring mold with nonstick cooking spray. Pour the gelatin mixture into the prepared mold.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely firm.
  7. To unmold, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the mold. Invert the mold onto a serving platter and gently release the gelatin.
