    This recipe was posted about this time last year by Susan in Kennesaw, Ga. It was one of her family favorites.

    Cranberry Port Wine Jello Mold

    1 lg or 2 small boxes of black cherry, or cherry jello.

    1 small can crushed pineapple

    1 can whole berry cranberry sauce

    1 cup port wine

    1 cup boiling water

    1 cup chopped nuts (if desired)

    Dissolve jello in water……..mix all together, and chill in refrig.

    (Making the day before enhances the flavors).

    This a “soft” gelatin, so do not expect perfect squares. It’s to be spooned out.

    When I make this I use blk. cherry jello, pineapple “tidbits”, and the least expensive port wine.

    I would guess this to make 8-10 servings…..all I know is that it takes my hub and I to finish in one week. And we savor every bite!!!

    Susan, hope you don’t mind me sharing your recipe…..It did not make the TDK cook book. 🙁 Just wanted others to enjoy this great family recipe you shared with us.

    Thanks for sharing my recipe from last year. You said, it is a soft jello I am surprised as I put it in a ring mold and it actually slices. If the recipe is folowed and not on the box it should be stiff. With the ring mold a put a small dish in the center of the jello after it is unmolded and fill it with Helliman’s mayo.

    Susan, what could be substituted for the wine?

    Reading back on this, I realized I do try some new recipes after all! I tried this but without the wine. I substituted sparkling ginger ale and it turned out pretty well. Might just have to try it again this year. Oh, and I did drain the pineapple, sliced up pretty well.
