Christmas in Texas: Holiday Cranberry Habanero Salad

There is still time to order your Christmas gifts from Texas Pepper Jelly and have them arrive before Christmas; just be sure you place your order by December 17th!

Holiday Cranberry Salad is really, really good. But why take my word for it? Make some yourself; it’s really simple!

Ingredients:

• 1 package of raw cranberries
• 2 1/2 cups of water
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 packages of cherry jello
• 2/3 cup Cranberry Habanero pepper jelly
• 1 package of miniature marshmallows
• 1 cup diced apples
• 1 cup walnuts or pecans
• 1 cup diced celery (if you like celery)

What to do:

Cook the cranberries and water until the cranberries pop. Add the sugar, jello, marshmallows, and pepper jelly, and simmer about five more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and add the apples, nuts, and celery.

This salad can be molded, if you wish. Just pour everything into a mold. Or, pour it into a pretty holiday bowl. Either way, put it in the refrigerator. Holiday Cranberry Habanero Salad is best if you make it the day before you serve it.
