  • 1/2 cup walnut pieces
  • 2 packages raspberry Jell-O gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 2 packages cream cheese

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cranberries:

    • Start by picking over the fresh cranberries, discarding any damaged or unripe ones.
    • Using a food processor, chop the cranberries until they reach a fine consistency.
  2. Sweeten the Cranberries:

    • In a bowl, mix the chopped cranberries with sugar, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely. Set aside and let it infuse with sweetness.
  3. Prepare the Jello Mixture:

    • In a large mixing bowl, empty the contents of the raspberry Jell-O gelatin packages.
    • Pour in the boiling water and stir vigorously until the gelatin dissolves completely.
    • Add the cold water to the mixture, combining well. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
  4. Incorporate the Fruits and Nuts:

    • Drain the crushed pineapple, reserving the juice for later use.
    • To the cooled Jello mixture, add the drained pineapple, sweetened cranberries, and walnut pieces. Stir until evenly distributed.
  5. Set the Cranberry Salad:

    • Transfer the fruity Jello mixture into a 9×13-inch dish, spreading it evenly.
    • Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow it to chill until set.
  6. Prepare the Cream Cheese Topping:

    • Using a mixer, blend the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Gradually incorporate enough reserved pineapple juice into the cream cheese, adjusting the consistency until it resembles whipped cream.
  7. Finish and Serve:

    • Once the cranberry salad has set, remove it from the refrigerator.
    • Spread the prepared cream cheese topping generously over the chilled gelatin layer, ensuring an even coverage.
    • For the final touch, keep the Cranberry Salad in Raspberry Jello with Cream Cheese Topping cold until ready to serve.
