This is a recipe my grandma made for a local JELL-O® contest. She won first place! It is a delicious salad like nothing I have ever seen. I grew up eating this cranberry salad every year at Thanksgiving. It reminds me of my grandma, who I loved so much!

Ingredients

1 pound fresh cranberries
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups water
2 (3 ounce) packages cherry-flavored gelatin (such as JELL-O®)
1 ½ cups chopped celery
1 ½ cups chopped, peeled apple
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Stir cranberries, sugar, and water together in a saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring often, until most of the berries have popped open, about 20 minutes.
Remove saucepan from heat. Stir gelatin into the cranberries mixture until dissolved completely; add celery, apple, and pecans and stir. Pour into a glass 13x9-inch dish.
Refrigerate until set in the center, 10 to 12 hours.

Cook's Notes:

Put salad in a glass casserole dish. It will not set up correctly in a metal pan.

I use gala apples, but any apple will do.

Do not use off-brand gelatin mix; otherwise your dish won't turn out right.
