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.

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
