Happy Monday everyone! It’s Erin and\u00a0I apologize for not getting this post up earlier – it’s been your typical Monday! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Today I thought I would share some cranberry recipes with you all since Thanksgiving is right around the corner.\u00a0 If you remember back in June, I posted about my connection to cranberries<\/a>. So I dug out my recipe book and looked up 3 recipes that my Mom sent me. My family loves all of these and they all are usually at our Thanksgiving table!<\/p>\n

Grandmother’s Cranberry Jello<\/strong> (we also refer to it as Cranberry Relish)<\/p>\n

No. 2 can (2 1\/2 cups) crushed pineapple<\/p>\n

2 pkgs cherry-flavored gelatin<\/p>\n

3\/4 cups sugar<\/p>\n

2 cups boiling water<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup cold water<\/p>\n

1 to 2 tbls lemon juice<\/p>\n

*******<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups ground raw cranberries (one pound)<\/p>\n

1 small orange, ground (1\/2 cup)<\/p>\n

1 cup chopped celery<\/p>\n

1\/2 cups walnuts, chopped<\/p>\n

Drain pineapple (reserve the syrup). Combine gelatin and sugar, dissolve in hot water. Add cold water, lemon juice and reserved juice. (I have a note on one receipe that Grandma did not put in the reserve pineapple juice – so you can choose either option – both are good). Chill until partial set. Add the pineapple and remaining ingredients. Turn into 2 quart mold. Chill until firm.<\/p>\n

Notes from my Mom: Make it at least the day before as it takes a while to set. If you don’t it chunky – add the cranberries, orange, celery and walnuts to a food processor or blender.<\/p>\n

Cranberry Nut Bread<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 cup cranberries, coarselyl chopped<\/p>\n

Stir in:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Just to moisten<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup orange juice<\/p>\n

1 egg well beated<\/p>\n

Fold in<\/strong><\/em> cranberries and nuts<\/p>\n

Spoon in greased and floured loaf pan<\/p>\n

Bake<\/strong> <\/em>at 350 for 60 minutes<\/p>\n

Cool 15 minutes<\/strong> <\/em>and then remove from pan<\/p>\n

St. John’s Cranberry Nut Pie<\/strong> (from the church I went to growing up)<\/p>\n

make the bottom crust<\/strong> <\/em>of a 9 inch pie pan – using your own special pie crust recipe (sorry – just have the recipe for the filling!)<\/p>\n

put into pie shell:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2 cups cranberries<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup brown sugar<\/p>\n

1\/3 cup chopped walnuts<\/p>\n
