INGREDIENTS

Cranberry Mold

Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 envelopes Gelatin powder
1/2 cup Cold water
2 1/2 cups Cranberry juice cocktail
1 1/4 cups Sugar
3 cups Cranberries -- Whole (frozen o.k.)
3/4 cup Apples -- Chopped
3/4 cup Celery -- Chopped
3/4 cup Walnuts OR pecans -- Chopped

I use a food processor for this and it's done fast.

INSTRUCTIONS
This can be done in a well greased non-stick bundt pan, when time to unmold, dip bottom of pan (not jelly side), in a little cool water, then take knife, and seperate a little from outer edge and center piece, put plate on top (eating side against jello), click your heels twice, say a prayer and then flip over and shake - you should feel it "fall" onto plate, if not, start this again. It will come out.

Looks gorgeous as a center piece. As in "notes" if you like this recipe, you should buy the tupperware mold, because you don't have to bother with water or click your heels and it always comes out perfect.

DIRECTIONS
Combine Gelatin and cold water in large bowl.
Bring one cup sugar and cranberry juice cocktail to boil.
Add 3 cups cranberries and simmer until popped.
Add 1/4 cup sugar until sweet - not tart. Let cool to room temperature. Add cranberry mixture to gelatin.
Refrigerate until mixture thickens to thickness of egg whites - 3 hours. Add walnuts, celery and apple. Mix and put in greased mold overnight.

NOTES : This is wonderful at Christmas, Thanksgiving and anytime you have a large crowd coming. Kids love it! It's also an easy item to bring to a potluck dinner. This receipe can be prepared two days ahead of serving. Tupperware sells the best mold I have ever used. If you like this recipe, I highly suggest buying it. It costs about $15.00
