#GELATIN SALAD SKIN#

Roughly chop the partially thawed cranberries with a sharp chopping knife. I used to get these fruit cups all the time for a snack in my school lunch. You know that salad with the bright red cherries and that weird but delicious whitish fruit that I think may have been pears but I am still unclear on. Walnuts вЂ“ I like the texture and crunch adding a few walnuts has in this salad but you can leave them out or substitute for pecans or hazelnuts.ДЄlternatively, you can go really old school and replace the apples, oranges, and pineapple with a jar of fruit salad that has been drained.I recommend using canned or jarred mandarin oranges that have already been peeled.

Mandarin oranges вЂ“ Again you can go and peel an orange then spend the time to remove the outer skin from each orange wedge but who has time or patience for that.Fresh pineapple and does not work well in Jello because the high acidity in the pineapple stops the Jello from setting properly. Apple вЂ“ One large apple peeled and chopped will do.Cranberries when frozen and thawed tend to have a little more moisture in them than fresh cranberries making them a little softer giving them a better softer texture for this salad. Cranberries вЂ“ I use whole frozen cranberries that have been mostly thawed.If not using orange juice just swap out for a 1/2 cup of cold water. You can see I left this out of the pic (by accident) but it is totally optional. The alternative is to use some of the juice from the canned crushed pineapple. I have added a little orange juice to this recipe to add some additional flavour. Orange juice вЂ“ Jello is usually made with just water but you can also substitute the water for fruit juice.I have never had success in reducing the amount of sugar or substituting sweeteners. Sugar вЂ“ Granulated sugar should be used.Jello вЂ“ This recipe uses raspberry gelatin but you can also swap out for strawberry if you prefer.
