Ingredients
CRANBERRY SALAD:
- 1 (6-ounce) package raspberry gelatin (can substitute orange or cherry)
- 1 (16-ounce) can whole cranberry sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 cup red grapes
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans (chopped)
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1 large apple, diced
- 1 can Mandarin oranges, drained, juice reserved
SAUCE:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
Directions
Prepare gelatin with 2 cups boiling water. Dissolve completely. Add cranberry sauce and ginger. In the refrigerator let gelatin reach a soft set (about 1 hour). Fold in grapes, nuts, celery, apples, and liquid from oranges. Spray mold with vegetable spray to prevent sticking. Place drained oranges in bottom of mold. Pour gelatin mixture over oranges and refrigerate until firm. Un-mold after firmly set. Serve with sauce on side. A layer of cream cheese may be added on top of the oranges. Mini marshmallows mixed in are a treat for the kiddies.
LA MAE'S NO-FAIL PIE CRUST:
- 2 cups flour
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup shortening that has been refrigerated (guest prefers Crisco butter flavored sticks)
- 1/4 cup water
Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Remove 1/3 cup of the mixture and set aside. Add the chilled shortening and, using a pastry cutter, incorporate until shortening and flour become pea-sized (be patient), set aside. Use reserved 1/3 cup of flour/salt mixture and 1/4 cup of water, mix to make a paste. Using hands, add paste to flour/shortening mixture and work it just enough for paste to cover everything - don't work it too much. Roll out dough, and then roll onto pin to transfer to pie tin. Fill with preferred pumpkin pie or other pie filling.

Not true! I have been making this pie crust recipe for years. All the measurements are perfect and the crust is so flaky and delicious. You should make sure you are only using 1/4 c of ICE water and that you let the dough cool in the fridge for the required amount of time

This crust was terrible to work with. I haven't tasted it yet, I just got done making it and am so frazzed I could scream. The directions for the crust are VERY vague. The dough is so wet when you are done you can barely work with it,it sticks to the counter and the roller and it doesn't say anything about how much flour to use when rolling out, if any. I have never made a pie crust before and never will again. All I can say is that after the roll out disaster, it better taste good!
