Instructions

Grind cranberries and sugar in a blender and set aside for 30 minutes. Measure pineapple juice, mandarin orange juice, and water to get 4 cups. Boil.
Remove from heat and pour over gelatin, stirring until dissolved with a wire whisk.
Refrigerate until jelled consistency, approx. 40 minutes.
Add all fruits and nuts, pour into a large glass bowl, and refrigerate until set. May cover with whipped cream or whipped topping.

Recipe Notes

Notes: You don't have to use all four jello flavors as long as you have 11/3 cups total, but it gives the best flavor.
