Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Wash, then grind the cranberries.
  2. Wash, zest & juice the orange, using as much pulp as you can gather (but remember, no white from the peel).
  3. Chop the celery.
  4. Mix cranberries, orange parts, sugar & celery, (add half of the wine now if you're using it).
  5. Refrigerate covered, overnight if possible (it is really not as good if you don't).
  6. The next day:.
  7. Chop the nuts.
  8. Make lemon Jello according to package directions, but only use 1/2 of the water that the package calls for, let partially set.
  9. Add cranberry mixture from previous day & nuts.
  10. If you are using wine, add the rest of it now.
  11. Transfer into appropriate serving bowl, I prefer pretty glass or crystal, especially for the holidays, (I usually use a pretty glass bowl that has a lid).
  12. Refrigerate covered (minimum of 2 hours or so) or until set.
  13. I often double this recipe, when I do this, I use 1 package of lemon Jello, & 1 package of orange Jello, or 2 packages of one or the other, and 2- 12 oz packages of cranberries, not quite doubling the rest of the ingredients.
  14. And finally, say a quick thanks & smile up at heaven to my Grandma Thelma, who passed away this year.
