Ingredients

  • 3 cups Water
  • 1 bag (12 Oz. Size) Fresh Cranberries (Reserve A Few For Garnish)
  • 3 boxes (3 Oz. Size) Cherry Jello
  • 3 cups Ice
  • 1 cup Finely Chopped Pecans
  • 2 Small Crisp Apples Peeled Cored And Finely Chopped (honey Crisp Are Excellent In This)
  • 2 Small Pears Peeled Finely Cored And Chopped (just Barely Ripe So They Are Still Crisp)
  • Fresh Bay Leaves, For Garnish

Method

  • In large saucepan, combine water and cranberries. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cranberries will burst.
  • Remove from heat and add jello. Stir until dissolved. Stir in ice cubes. Chill for 30-45 minutes to slightly thicken but not set. Stir several times so it cools but does not begin to set on the sides.
  • Stir in pecans, apples and pears. Pour in mold or bundt pan. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Dip mold in hot water for 10-20 seconds. Carefully invert onto final serving platter. If mold does not release, dip in hot water for another 10 seconds.
  • Garnish with cranberries and fresh bay leaves. Do not use holly leaves.
