Cranberry Pineapple Dessert Recipe
This Cranberry Jello Salad is a festive-looking side dish, made up from a tasty combination of raspberry Jell-O, cranberry sauce, apples, and pineapple.
If you’re looking for cranberry salad recipes, I’ve got two for you. This Cranberry Jello Salad and this Cranberry Fluff , which is also known as commonly known as cranberry salad too.
If this seems like an odd question, then let me give a little background. If you want to try a fun science experience, use fresh pineapple instead of canned in this recipe. The results will be fruit soup.

This is because pineapple and other fresh fruits contain high levels of proteases, which are enzymes that break down the chemical bonds in protein.
However canned pineapple has a different effect. During the canning process, the pineapple is heated up to a very high heat which kills off the chemical that prevents gelatin from setting up. Thus allowing us to use canned pineapple in Jello without any side effects.
Yes you can. However the flavor and texture may be affected. I suggest making this several days in advance and keeping it in the fridge rather than freezing.
Holiday Cranberry Fluff Salad
We are all about making life easier when it comes to a big dinner party, but in this case I suggest using the fridge instead of the freezer.
From the day it’s made to the day you toss it, you’ve got between 5 – 7 days to enjoy your easy cranberry salad. So if you want to make this in advance AND save the leftovers, I suggest making it 2 – 3 days in advance and using it within 3 – 4 days after your dinner. This gives you a total of 5 – 7 days with the Jello.
PRO TIP: If you plan on making this in advance, using a traditional bowl (not jello mold) then you’ll want to cover it well. To do this, place a layer of plastic wrap ON TOP OF (touching) your cranberry salad.

This will help prevent any odors from your fridge from touching or seeping into your jello. Once you place a layer of plastic wrap on your dish, then add a second to the top of your bowl ensuring a nice tight seal.
Because of a natural chemical reaction, there are certain fresh fruits like pineapple that cannot be mixed in with Jello. These are:

Pineapple Cranberry Jello Salad
This Cranberry Jello Salad is a vintage recipe that has never gone out of style! Easy to make, packed with flavor and texture and always requested! It’s an easy make ahead side dish that wont take up room in your oven!
I love to make this salad, and my friends love it too. However I have one friend who is allergic to the red dye in the jello. Is there a way I could adapt the recipe for her using plain gelantin instead of the commercial jello? Perhaps using fresh puréed raspberries for a part of the liquid to give color and flavor?She loves the salad but not the reaction to the red dye (a lot of people have allergies to the red dye, including my husband). Thanks for any suggestion you can offer.
Hmm. Great question Gwen. I have never done it but this is what I'd try my first time. I can't guarantee the results, but if you wan to try it give this a try. What if you used clear jello with juice to create the flavor. Place 1 cup water in a heat proof bowl. Sprinkle 3 packets of clear gelatin over the water and let sit for 2 minutes or until thickened. Bring 2 cups Cran-Raspberry juice to a boil (unless there is dye in that too...then maybe 2 cups fresh raspberry juice??), pour over gelatin mixture and whisk well. Then start at step 6 of the recipe. Let me know if you try it! Good luck!
Cranberry Pineapple Muffin
I make this every Thanksgiving and Christmas! My kids always request it. I add a cup of finely choped celery. Adds a little bit of crunch!
I make these in cupcake liners (start in the tins) and my family LOVE them. Helps keep separate on the plate from other foods, lovely of a serving try and so handy to send leftovers with guest.
I'm the third generation to make this salad for Thanksgiving and Christmas it always comes out great the only thing different is we add 3/4 cup sugar, I going to try it your way and see if the sugar is really needed. :)
Amazing Cranberry Jello Salad Recipe
@Janelle, I made this July 24, 2021. Delicious salad!! But we called it Jello Soup! It would not completely set up. I followed your instructions. Am wondering about your comment to make sure jello dissolved before adding cold water. Your recipe says add cold water to juice to make 3 cups, bring to boil, remove from heat, add jello stir until dissolved, add cranberry sauce & should be thick. There is no instruction to add cold water after dissolving Jello. I even put it in the freezer to cool it as would not thicken at all when in frig. Did I miss something in your directions? Like I said before though, this is a great tasting Jello Salad and will try it again!
There are multiple reasons a gelatin wont gel. 1. the gelatin was not fully cooked before the cold water was added. Gelatin needs to be cooked in order to gel. 2. Too much liquid in the fruit or too much water/ice added. 3. Fresh pineapple.
We know it wasn't #3 since you used canned. The only way to save it is to boil 1 cup of water and add it to a 3 oz box of gelatin. Make sure it's boiling water. Then mix well. Once gelatin is dissolved, add it to your other mixture and refrigerate it.This cranberry jello salad combines raspberry gelatin with cranberry sauce, pineapple and orange zest for a delicious side dish or dessert that’s perfect for the holidays.
Quick Cranberry Gelatin Salad Recipe: How To Make It
Ah, the gelatin mold. Such an old school classic that has the ability to be super delicious or not-so-appealing depending on how you make it. My husband’s grandmother used to make a red jello mold with celery and mayonnaise. No thank you! When I was a teenager we spent Thanksgiving at a family friend’s house and they served this amazing cranberry jello salad. My mom asked for the recipe and we’ve been making it ever since.
This recipe starts with raspberry flavored gelatin. After the gelatin is melted cans of whole berry cranberry sauce and crushed pineapple are stirred in. The final touch is the zest from one orange, then the whole mixture goes into a gelatin mold to set up. Don’t have agelatin mold? A 9 inch square pan will work just fine, or you could put it in a pretty glass bowl like a trifle dish. I love all of the flavors and textures going on here – most of the cranberry sauce melts into the jello but you end up with plenty of whole cranberries and pineapple in each bite.
You can serve this cranberry jello salad plain as a side dish or dress it up with a little whipped cream to transform it into an impressive looking dessert.

How pretty is that? It’s fun, festive and quite easy to make. The hardest part is getting it out of the mold. It took me a few tries, but after a couple of brief dips in hot water I was able to safely get the gelatin out of the pan and onto the serving platter. Your guests will be delighted to see this treat on your holiday table, and they’ll be even more delighted to find out that it doesn’t contain any celery!
This cranberry jello salad is made with raspberry jello, cranberry sauce, pineapple and orange for a festive treat that's a welcome addition to any holiday table.
The gelatin mold can be made a few days in advance and stored, loosely covered in the fridge. Add the whipped cream and garnishes right before serving.

The idea started when I received my care package from CK Mondavi Wines. In addition to two of my favorite wines, Red Blend and Chardonnay, was a can of Dole Pineapple Chunks. I do love pineapple and thought how festive it would be if I combined it with coconut and cranberries. Just be sure to let the pineapple chunks sit in a strainer for
