How to Make Southern Cranberry Salad
- In a large bowl, dissolve 3 ounces (1 package) of cranberry-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Stir in 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce (reserve a few tablespoons for garnish if desired).
- Add 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained; 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained; and ½ cup chopped pecans.
- Lightly grease a 4-cup ring mold or a pretty glass serving dish with cooking spray.
- Pour the salad mixture into the prepared mold.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until completely set.
- To serve, carefully run a thin knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the salad. Invert onto a serving platter. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and/or reserved cranberry sauce, if desired.
