Ingredients:  
12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
1 large Granny Smith or other tart green apple
1 large orange
1 large Honey Crisp or another red apple
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 large (6-ounce) box raspberry Jello, or lemon Jello,
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
Directions:
Directions:
Zest the orange, peel, and liquefy in the food processor.

Chop all the other fruit in the food processor, and add to large bowl with orange and zest. Add nuts.

Bring water and sugar to a boil until sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat, let cool just a bit, and whisk in Jello.

Don't be hating on the Jello here; it's not really noticeable, but helps things hold together. You could use unflavored gelatin and additional sugar if you wish.

Pour Jello over fruit, give a good stir, and refrigerate overnight.

Personal Notes:
From Marilyn: "Mom (Doris Watterson) always made this for Thanksgiving and they always served it at the Church Bazaar Luncheon. When I was young you used a grinder to grind everything, and it was messy messy messy from start to cleanup, but processor makes life simple. Stays good for a week if you have any leftovers. I do, my family is not a fan – I love it for breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner and a midnight snacks. Guess that means I take after Mom. She loved this salad."
