Brighten Up Your Meals With These Old Fashion Salad Recipes
ShareCRANBERRY ORANGE WITH CHERRY GELATIN
This is an old recipe from my childhood that my mother made every year for the holidays.
2 pkgs (3-oz each) cherry flavored gelatin
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup crushed pineapple (juice and all)
1 pkg (10-oz) frozen cranberry orange sauce, thawed (Mom used the brand Indian Trail)
Dissolve the gelatin in boiling water. Stir in the cranberry orange sauce and the pineapple. Stir to blend well. Pour into a mold and chill overnight or until set.
Note: This makes a good recipe for busy days as it needs to be made ahead of time anyway.
CRAN-STRAWBERRY GELATIN SALAD
1 pkg (6-oz)strawberry gelatin
1 can (20-oz)crushed pineapple
1 pkg (8-oz)cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 can (16-oz)whole-berry cranberry sauce
1 can (12-oz)evaporated milk
In a heavy saucepan combine the gelatin and pineapple. Heat over low heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved; stir in the cream cheese until it blends well. Remove pan from the heat. Stir in the chopped nuts and the cranberry sauce. Chill until the mixture starts to thicken; blend in the evaporated milk. Pour into an oiled mold or 7 x 11-inch dish. Chill thoroughly for several hours. Unmold and serve on lettuce leaves or cut into squares if make in oblong dish.
Variations: Replace strawberry gelatin with cherry gelatin.
Replace the cranberry sauce with 1 package (16-oz) frozen strawberries
