I realize that this isn't a mold. Oddly enough, an appropriately-shaped version of this Thanksgiving family favorite never featured in my childhood. But I'm okay with that, just as I'm okay with posting this admittedly unappetizing picture. Because I know that fruity refreshment resides within the confines of that homely Pyrex bowl. If you too "crave the wave" of cranberry goodness (please don't sue, Ocean Spray), then here are the fixin's you'll need:
Ingredients:
1 small can crushed pineapple
1 small can mandarin oranges
1 3-oz package raspberry JELL-O
1/2 cup boiling water
1 16-oz can jellied cranberry sauce
1 cup whipped cream
Directions:
Drain pineapple juice and reserve. Add 1/2 cup of boiling water to the pineapple juice. Dissolve the JELL-O in 1 cup of pineapple juice and boiling water. Add the cranberry sauce and let it gel for about half an hour, or until slightly thick. Then fold in the oranges, pineapple, and whipped cream. Let gel for at least 24 hours.
You can also garnish and/or serve with additional whipped cream, which I did (although it's not pictured).
