Sugar substitute equivalent to ¼ cup sugar
1 cup fresh cranberries, ground
1 small orange, peeled, quartered and ground
1 cup chopped celery
½ cup pecans or other nuts, broken into pieces (optional)

*Do not use fresh or frozen pineapple in this recipe! It will not allow the gelatin to jell.

  3. Prepare gelatin according to package label using juice-water mixture for the liquid.
