I originally found this recipe for cranberry Jell-O salad with mandarin oranges in an old, old email, so thought I’d post it here now.

Ingredients
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained and chopped
1 cup pecans
1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
2 (3 ounce) packages cranberry-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
¾ cup white sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
Directions
Place cranberries, mandarin oranges, and pecans into a food processor and pulse several times to chop; process mixture until finely ground, about 30 seconds. Transfer mixture into a large bowl.
Mix pineapple, gelatin, and sugar in a separate bowl. Add boiling water and cold water and stir together until gelatin and sugar have dissolved.
Pour gelatin mixture into cranberry mixture and stir. Pour into a gelatin mold and refrigerate, 8 hours or overnight, before serving.
