CRANBERRY SALAD
1 pkg. cranberry , cherry or raspberry Jello
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 c. sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (some say black walnuts)
1 sm. can crushed pineapple, drained
1 c. ground cranberries
Dissolve Jello according to package directions. Use pineapple juice drained from pineapple as part of the liquid. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Can let it begin to jell before adding the rest if the ingredients or it can be added to warm mixture if you prefer. If cranberries are real juicy, you might want to drain them before adding to the Jello (or include liquid in first part). Refrigerate until set.

Mmmm. My favorite cranberry sauce is the one from the Ocean Spray package that is like your #1, except without apples or pineapple.
I've made lots of other kinds and eaten lots of other kinds, but the cranberry-orange-pecan is still my favorite, after fixing it for well over 30 years.
