My Favorite Thanksgiving Recipe!!

 

THANKful

Today is Day 6 of the Plenty to Be THANKful for Blog Challenge.  I have only missed one day!  Amazing!  Friday was too hectic between work and class that it was impossible to get anything posted.  Today was the same – so I figured I would try tonight.  Better late than never, right?

It was hard trying to pick my favorite Thanksgiving recipe.  I love all Thanksgiving food: turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, pie.  You name it, it’s on my plate.  Except for green bean casserole.  Can’t get onboard with that one. 

However, the recipe I picked is a simple side dish: Cranberry-Pineapple Jell-O

That picture is not mine.  And it’s not 100% a picture of the recipe I’m going to tell you about, but it gives you an idea.  I don’t have any pictures of this Jell-O, so I had to improvise.  I’ll try and snap one this year.

I’m not sure where this Jell-O recipe came from, but it’s a good one.  I’d recommend making it!

Cranberry-Pineapple Jell-O

Ingredients
2 3-oz boxes of Jello-O, any flavor (I bought peach this year)
1 3/4 cup boiling water
16 oz can whole cranberry sauce
1 can crushed pineapple, not drained (regular size)
1 cup sour cream

Directions
Dissolve Jell-O in water.  Stir in cranberry sauce and pineapple.
Chill until almost set, pour half into a class bowl.
Chill until firm.
Spread on sour cream.
Pour the rest of Jell-O mixture on top.
Chill

That’s it!  Super easy!  Don’t let the sour cream turn you off – it tastes amazing with the cranberry Jell-O. 

What’s your favorite Thanksgiving recipe???
