I got this recipe from mom who got it from a friend who… anyhow, when ever I make this I get compliments on it, even from people who dislike cranberries, so I decided to pass on the recipe to the good folks at the dope. as always, I make things by eye, so I will give you approximations: 1 package, 6 oz, cherry gelatin. I am sure other flavors such as cranberry or black cherry would be good. 1 cup sugar (I use WAY less. more like 1/4, but to each his own) 1 can of cranberry, the whole type. 1 can of cherrys in liquid, drained (NOT the pie filling stuff) (I put them both in a processor for a second so that they are very coarsly chopped. 1 can of crushed pineapple, reserve liquid! I tend to substitute peaches that I coarsly chop in the processor, as mr baboon doesn’t like pineapple 1 cup of pecans, but more is good too! 2 cups of boiling water. \_In a large bowl, combine gelatin and sugar. \_Add water; stir until gelatin and sugar are dissolved. add the rest of the stuff. chill 2 to 4 hours or longer. before serving stir it up so as to blend all the fruits and nuts t hat always float to the top. and that is it. Enjoy!
