Ingredients

  • 1 (3 ounce) package sugar-free black raspberry gelatin mix
  • 14 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 12 cups boiling water
  • 1 12 cups cranberries, stemmed and coarsely chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and finely chopped
  • 12 cup finely chopped celery
  • 13 cup chopped pecans

Method

  • Combine the gelatin mix and brown sugar in a large heat-proof bowl.
  • Add the boiling water, and stir until the mix is dissolved.
  • Cover and chill for about 45 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to the consistency of raw egg whites.
  • Stir the remaining ingredients into the gelatin mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into an ungreased 6 cup mold, cover and chill for 6-8 hours or until very firm.
  • To unmold the relish, dip the mold in warm, but not hot, water for 5-10 seconds.
  • Beware: If the water is too hot or the mold remains in the water too long, the gelatin will start to melt.
  • Remove the mold from the water and loosen the edges of the mixture with a knife.
  • Place a serving platter upside down over the mold, and invert it on the platter.
  • Slice and serve chilled.
