Jello Recipes
Apple Pineapple Cranberry Salad
This cranberry jello salad recipe combines the flavors of pineapple, raspberry, cranberry, apple, and pecans to make a delicious sweet treat. This is one of the jello salad recipes where you are likely to already have all the required ingredients in your cupboards.
If you prefer your jello mold recipes fruity and light, rather than creamy, this is a great dessert because there is no cream, cream cheese or whipped toppings involved. Instead, the fruits are combined with the nuts and jello to give a simple, satisfying cranberry and pineapple salad dessert. This cranberry and jello salad is rich in nutrients and makes a healthy finish to a good meal.
You can use walnuts instead of pecans if you want to, and a different flavor of jello if you fancy a change from raspberry jello. The Granny Smith apple gives a great tart flavor, which contrasts well with the sweet ingredients like the pineapple and jello.
