Congealed Cherry Salad
In my house.....Thanksgiving just isn't Thanksgiving without some type of Jell-o Salad.
Over the years many different Jell-o Salads have adorned our table; Watergate Salad, Orange Dream Salad, Strawberry Banana Jell-o Salad and Raspberry Jell-o with a Marshmallow Drizzle.
But what in the heck does Congealed mean???
Congealed Cherry Salad~
What in the world does "Congealed" mean? It's a nasty sounding word for a delicious jell-o salad.
Congealed means: A jell-o salad made with flavored or unflavored gelatin, fruit, nuts, vegetables such as grated carrots, chopped celery and/or cottage cheese, cream cheese, whipped topping and/or mini marshmallows.
Basically "congealed" means: A jell-o salad with a bunch of stuff stirred into it:)
The next time you see the phrase "congealed" jello salad, don't run screaming in the other direction...
Get a big spoon and dig in.....
- 1 (15-oz) can dark, sweet pitted cherries, undrained
- 1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, undrained
- 1 (8-oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 (6-oz) package sugar-free cherry gelatin
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Whipped topping for garnish, optional
- Drain fruit, reserving 1 1/2 cups juice; set fruit aside
Bring juice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add gelatin; cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until gelatin dissolves. Remove gelatin mixture from heat; stir in cold water
Cover and chill until mixture is the consistency of unbeaten egg whites
Fold in fruit and pecans.
Spoon into a lightly sprayed 6-cup mold, cover and chill until firm
Unmold Jello Salad
Makes 8 to 10 servings
Kitchen Tip: Unmolding Tips
To unmold with ease, run a knife around edge of mold to break the suction. Gently pull salad away from sides using fingers. Wrap mold in a damp, warm dish towel. Unwrap, place a serving platter on top of mold, and invert. Gently shake, and remove mold.
Non-stick cooking spray works wonders and
I also have several "vintage" Tupperware jello molds that are fantastic. When the seal is opened or broken , the jello mold slips right off~
