This is so good it could be dessert. Everyone will want to take some home!

4-cups (1-lb.)fresh- cranberries

1-cup sugar

1-envelope-Knorr unflavored gelatin

½ Cup Orange juice

1-Cup chopped celery

1-cup chopped apple (-I like Granny Smiths)

1-cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Wash cranberries: drain and remove stems. Put through food processor or just chop until coarse.
Add sugar stir let stand for 15 minutes
Stir occasionally
Chop celery, apple, and nuts coarsely
Sprinkle gelatin over orange juice in a small pan to soften.
Place over low heat stir until gelatin is dissolved.

Add gelatin mixture to chopped cranberries, apples, nuts and celery mix well –pour into an oiled mold Bundt cake pan or loaf pan and pat down into the mold –Refrigerate 6-8 hours (you can make this a day or two ahead).When ready to serve dip the mold bottom into a sink of hot water… just for a minute –place red leaf lettuce on the top of the mold (lettuce leave tops extending a bit over the edge of the mold) and a plate on top of that and flip over. Serve with real whipped cream –we love it!

Lasts for several days to have with leftover turkey.~ Kathleen Powers
