Holiday Cranberry Fruit Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (1/4 ounce) package unflavored gelatin (Knox brand)
1 1 cup cranberry-raspberry juice or 1 cup other red juice, chilled
1 1 cup cranberry-raspberry juice or 1 cup other red juice, boiling
2 cups fresh cranberries, chopped in a food processor
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained (if the tidbits are large you may want to cut in half)
1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1 apple, cored and chopped (peeled or unpeeled)
3/4 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped

Preparation

In a medium bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over the 1 cup chilled juice. Let stand for 1 minute.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 cup juice to boiling. (I heat the juice in a glass measuring cup in the microwave for 2 minutes.).
Stir the boiling juice into the gelatin mixture. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Refrigerate until chilled but not set.
Remove from the refrigerator. Stir in the chopped cranberries, pineapple tidbits, grapes, chopped apple, marshmallows, and chopped pecans (optional).
Chill until set, about 3 hours.
