ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 3 ounces lemon gelatin
- 1 orange, quartered with peel
- 1 1⁄2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1⁄2 cup pecans
directions

- Add orange, cranberries, sugar, salt and blend again until ingredients are finely chopped.
- Add in pecans and pulse until coarsely chopped.
- Pour into mold and place in refrigerator until set.
- Note: This recipe has been our family for decades, and the last time my mother tried to make it, it didn't set. Prevailing opinion at the time was that perhaps she bought the wrong size of gelatin or that the formula of the gelatin had changed. At any rate, I copied this from a tattered recipe card that didn't specify size of box. It might be more firm if you also add in some unflavored gelatin in step 1. Good luck! Next time I try this I will modify the recipe, but if you do, by all means, comment away!

Back in the US after 10 years abroad. Good to be home and have good access to more familiar ingredients, however, I also loved all that I learned in my beloved adoptive country of Macedonia. I also had the privilege of running an American style bakery during my last 3 years in Skopje.
Baking is my addiction, but I do love all sorts of cooking. My husband recently ended his 15 year low-carb lifestyle, so we are both busy packing on the pounds and being able to eat forbidden foods together now! Love it (but not how snug my pants are!).
