4-ounce can crushed pineapple

3-ounce package black cherry gelatin

6 ounces dried cranberries, rinsed

1 cup broken pecans

1/2 cup sugar

Parsley, for garnish

Sour cream or whipped cream, for garnish

Drain pineapple and reserve juice. Add juice to 1/2 cup hot water and heat to boiling. Soften gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Dissolve softened gelatin in hot water-juice mixture. Let cool until it starts to set; don't let the gelatin harden. Put cranberries through a grinder. Add ground berries, pineapple, nuts, and sugar to cooled gelatin mixture. Mix well. Pour into a bowl or mold. Refrigerate until completely set. Place mold in a warm water bath and run a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert onto a serving plate, garnish with parsley and a dollop of sour cream or whipped cream.

Last... year I came across Paula's recipe for this and thought I would try one more cranberry recipe for my family to hate...low and behold they loved it minus the nuts...I couldn't believe it!! And it is so quick and easy to make I just love it!! Thank You Paula!!Read more

Must have done something wrong
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I had this in Paula's restaurant and LOVED it. But when I tried it at home, it was not the same. I used Cranraisins, which... must not be what I should have used. Read more

Pretty Good Salad
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I liked this salad better than my husband did, although is fairness, he isn't too wild about jello salads. I did find the... directions a little weird, though. Why would you wait to add the sugar to the cooled jello if you want it to be dissolved? Also, I used a large package of sugar-free gelatin and doubled the amount of pineapple and juice. I can't imagine this serving 8 people if it is made as written.Read more

Form Cranberry hater to LOVER
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Tried this recipe with sugar free jello (1 raspberry and 1 cherry); wonderful! I have never liked cranberry stuff for any... meal but his definitely changed my mind. Watched Paula make it and thought what the heck....best move in the kitchen I've made in a long time. Everyone loved it, with 10 people for Christmas lunch, only a quarter of it was left with request for the recipe. Thanks Paula and I hope to see you in Tunica, MS on 12-27!Read more

Try a sugar free version
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this with sugar free jello (use the equivalent package - .35oz)and it was great! Definitely more of a salad than a... dessert; however, in order to make it a dessert just remove the nuts.Read more
