I have been neglecting my blog lately, so I am going to spam the poor thing with a few recipes from Thanksgiving so I don't feel so bad about it.
My grandmother used to make this stuff, but I didn't have her recipe so I took the idea and tweaked it to my satisfaction. My mom, children & I all fought over who got to eat it and it was polished off by Saturday morning after Thanksgiving.
2 Large packages Raspberry Jello
1 1/4 cup water
1 bag fresh cranberries (crushed in the food processor)
1 can crushed pineapple
1 1/2 cups green grapes, halved
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Boil water. In a 13x9 pan, dissolve jello with boiling water. Add cranberries, pineapple, grapes and walnuts. stir CAREFULLY! Sprinkly coconut liberally over the top. Refridgerate for several hours to allow to solidify, I like to serve it really cold!
Sauce (optional)
1 cup Miracle Whip
2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp Vinegar
Mix together and serve alongside the salad to spoon on top. Some people prefer cool whip for this. Personally I prefer NOTHING. I literally stood in my fridge with a spoon and ate the leftovers straight out of the dish. delicious. This is my FAVORITE thanksgiving food. Probably the only one I actually choose to make and eat.
