    Recipe Introduction

    Great for the holidays!

    List of Ingredients

    1 cup finely chopped raw cranberries, well packed
    1 cup sugar
    1 package cranberry gelatin
    1 cup hot water
    1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained, syrup reserved (20-ounce can)
    1 cup chopped celery
    1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, optional (2-ounce package)
    1/2 pound green grapes
    1 egg white, beaten
    1/2 cup granulated sugar

    Recipe

    Up to 3 days ahead: Wash and dry cranberries. Chop finely in a food processor. (One 12-ounce package of whole cranberries makes 2 cups finely chopped berries. Freeze the second cup for another use.) Combine cranberries and sugar in a small bowl. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate. In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in hot water. Add 1 cup reserved pineapple syrup. Mix well, refrigerate, and chill until partially set, about 1 hour. When gelatin is partially set, add cranberry mixture, pineapple, celery, and walnuts. Pour into a mold that has been lightly coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate and chill until firm.


    1 day ahead: Divide grapes into small clusters. Dip clusters into beaten egg white, then roll in sugar to coat. Place on a paper-towel-lined plate and refrigerate.


    Thanksgiving Day: Unmold salad on a large plate. Garnish with frosted grapes.
