In a separate bowl, dissolve the cherry-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Add the bloomed unflavored gelatin mixture to the dissolved cherry gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved and smooth.
Refrigerate until the gelatin mixture reaches the consistency of unbeaten egg whites (about 1-2 hours).
Gently fold in the mincemeat, drained crushed pineapple, chopped apple, and chopped nuts.
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold or pan.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
