- 3 ounces of powdered lemon Jell-O
- 1 orange
- 4 apples
- 12 ounces of cranberries
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup crushed pineapple
- 1 cup pecans or walnuts
- 5 ounces of mini marshmallows or more if you'd like
Instructions
- Grind cranberries and sugar together. Add to a bowl and set aside.
- Cut up the orange and squeeze out the juice into a glass measuring cup. Add orange slices to a blender, including the peel, and grind up.
- Drain the pineapple juice into the glass measuring cup. You will need one cup of orange juice and pineapple juice combined. (Add a little water if you don't quite reach one cup).
- Add the powdered Jell-O to a large bowl.
- Boil the pineapple and orange juice and add to the Jell-O. Mix together and place in the freezer for a few minutes while you finish the rest of the recipe.
- Cut up the apples into small slices and add to the orange. Grind up. (Don't get to the point of applesauce, just big chunks).
- Take the Jell-O bowl out of the freezer and add the cranberry mixture. Add the apple and orange mixture. Mix everything together.
- Add the pecans (or walnuts) and the crushed pineapple.
- Add the marshmallows and mix together.
- Place in the refrigerator for several hours.

Notes
The Jell-O will not completely set up, but the salad will be a little thicker after several hours.
