Hi, I am Larry. I am so lucky to be married to Saichon. She has graciously agreed to let me share one of my families long time favorite holiday recipes.
This is a recipe that I was given by my great grandmother in Oklahoma. When we were kids we used an old grinder that we cranked by hand. Looking back at it now, I know that as kids we loved to grind up the food in that old grinder and I am sure that my mother loved the time to work in the kitchen with us out of the way! Now Both I and Saichon use a food processor to do the job, takes seconds rather than hours. I have had several that I managed to break, then my mother gave Saichon this one from Wolfgang Puck for Christmas last year. It is a little big for our personal needs but is great when we have dinner parties and we have really used it a lot! It has never complained or stopped working. My only observation of trouble with it is the O-Ring that seals the top onto the unit seems to come off to easily. So whatever you choose to grind up your fruits is great, for us it is a family tradition and I hope this recipe will add a little joy to your holiday as well!
For this recipe you will need:
two oranges
one apple
one 12 ounce bag of cranberries
one large packet of raspberry Jello
(Optional) 1/2 cup of walnuts
one cup sugar
Begin by pouring your jello into a middle sized bowl add 1 and 1/4 cup of boiling hot water and stir until jello is all dissolved. Now pour in your sugar and stir until dissolved. I generally use less than 1/2 cup of sugar but the original recipe calls for one cup. so use your sugar fit your taste.
Set your jello aside and wash your fruit well, core your apple and toss into your food processor, followed by the cranberries, and the oranges and nuts. After all items have been completely ground up, mix into your jello well, add another 1 and 1/4 cups of cold water again mixing well and place into the fridge to set.
As I said this is a family fave, I like to top mine with a bit of whipped topping and eat for desert.
From our family to you we wish you a very merry Christmas, and an awesome new year!
