This sounds quirky, but Grandma used to make it when I was little and it is really good. The celery and pecans give it texture. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1 (3 ounce) package orange-flavored gelatin (such as jell-o®) |
1 cup boiling water |
1/2 cup cold water |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, juice reserved |
2 cups grated carrots |
2 stalks celery, chopped |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Spray a 3-cup gelatin mold with cooking spray.
2. Dissolve orange gelatin in boiling water in a bowl; stir in cold water, salt, and reserved pineapple juice. Chill until partially thickened, about 45 minutes. Mix carrots, celery, pecans, and pineapple into gelatin and pour into prepared gelatin mold. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 more hours. Invert mold onto serving platter to release gelatin salad.
