Instructions:
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large heat-proof bowl, combine the gelatin mix and brown sugar. |
| 2 | Add the boiling water to the bowl and stir until the mixture is fully dissolved. |
| 3 | Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes, or until it thickens to the consistency of raw egg whites. |
| 4 | Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the cranberries, diced apple, celery, and chopped pecans until well combined. |
| 5 | Pour the mixture into an ungreased 6-cup mold, cover it, and chill in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours or until very firm. |
| 6 | To unmold the relish, carefully dip the mold in warm (not hot) water for 5-10 seconds. Be cautious not to let the water be too hot or leave the mold submerged for too long, as this may cause the gelatin to melt. |
| 7 | Remove the mold from the water and loosen the edges of the mixture with a knife. |
| 8 | Place a serving platter upside down over the mold, and invert it onto the platter. |
| 9 | Slice the molded relish and serve chilled alongside your favorite holiday dishes. |
