This was my mothers recipe, and named by my son because it is so addictive. By replacing the Jell-O® with sugar-free Jello-O®, using no-sugar-added pineapple, and your choice of sugar substitute, this turns into a reduced-carb recipe. If you don't have a grinder, use a blender and water to grind the cranberries, then drain.
Ingredients
- cranberries: 1 pack (12 ounce pack, fresh)
- orange: 1 piece (peeled)
- boiling water: 2 cups
- white sugar: 1 cup
- cherry-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®): 1 pack (6 ounce pack)
- pineapple with juice: 1 can (14 ounce can, crushed)
