Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Dissolve gelatin: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve raspberry gelatin powder in boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved. |
| 2 | Mix in cranberry sauce: While the gelatin is still hot, add the cranberry sauce to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until the cranberry sauce is evenly incorporated into the gelatin mixture. |
| 3 | Add pineapple: Blend in the crushed pineapple until it is well combined with the gelatin and cranberry sauce mixture. |
| 4 | Set aside to cool: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, ensuring that it is no longer hot to the touch. This will prevent the wine from evaporating when added later. |
| 5 | Stir in wine and nuts: Once cooled, gently stir in the red wine and chopped nuts, if using. Ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. |
| 6 | Pour into pan: Pour the salad mixture into a 9×13 inch pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or spoon. |
| 7 | Refrigerate: Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the salad to chill until it is set, typically for about 2-3 hours or until firm. |
| 8 | Top and serve: Before serving, top the chilled salad with a generous layer of whipped topping and Miracle Whip, adjusting the quantities to suit your taste preferences. Serve chilled and enjoy the burst of flavors! |
