Raspberry Jello Cranberry Relish

Submitted by ColCadsMom

"Got this recipe from a co-worker. It makes an enormous amount of sweet relish with just a touch of tartness from the cranberries. The raspberry jello is the key to even non-cranberry eaters enjoying the dish. Feel free to substitute cranberry Jello if you want a stronger cranberry flavor. I chop my nuts, cranberries, apples and oranges in a food processor. For a chunkier relish, chop the apples, oranges, and nuts by hand. I have thirded everything for a smaller amount using an 8 ounce can of crushed pineapple with good results as well. Can also be made with splenda and sugar free gelatin."

My Grandmother made this salad every year for Thanksgiving. It has been a part of my families Thanksgiving for over 50 years. The few years that we did not make it everyone wanted to know where it was. Grannie is long gone and it falls to me to make this delicious relish. The only thing I change is I use one box of cherry jello and 2 boxed of raspberry. You can also use honey instead of sugar. Enjoy.
