Cranberry/Pineapple/Jello Dish

[KathyInAR]

As Thanksgiving Day approaches, I'd like to share one of my most favorite Thanksgiving dishes:

Make the jello part of this recipe the evening before you plan on eating it.

We just call it "Cranberry Stuff"

(I use a glass casserole dish that is approximately 8" x 8" and 3" deep)

1 small box cranberry jello (if you can't find cranberry, raspberry will do)

1 small box orange jello

2 cans of Oceanspray (because I know this brand and it's full of cranberries and not so much "sauce") Whole Berry sauce.

1 15.5 oz can crushed pineapple (drained but save juice)

1) Add 1 cup of boiling water to the two boxes of jello and stir until completely dissolved.

2) Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the drained/saved pineapple juice and stir into jello until ice melts.

3) Stir in the two cans of whole-berry cranberry sauce and one can of drained crushed pineapple.

4) Keep in fridge overnight so that jello will completely set.

------

Within 4 hours of serving, make the following topping for the jello:

Mix with a handmixer until smooth:

8-oz bar of cream cheese (use full fat for this recipe)

4-6 ozs sour cream (do not use "light" as it will be too watery)

1 - 2 teaspoons vanilla (to your taste)

sugar (to your taste, I like this pretty sweet--you can use Splenda if you prefer)

Spread this topping over the jello and sprinkle with pecans.

Bringing back to the top since we are at the day before Thanksgiving Day and in case anyone wants to try this easy delicious dish instead of just opening the can of . But, if that is the druthers, that's okay and it tastes good too!!!

Wishing everyone a happy and delicious Turkey day.
