Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pour the raspberry Jell-O powder into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add boiling water to the bowl and stir continuously for 2 minutes until the powder is completely dissolved.
  3. Refrigerate the mixture for about 20-30 minutes, or until it begins to thicken slightly but is not yet fully set (it should look like thick syrup).
  4. While the gelatin is chilling, drain the pineapple tidbits thoroughly.
  5. Once the gelatin has thickened, gently fold in the whipped topping until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the marshmallows, drained pineapple tidbits, and whole cranberries, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  7. Spoon the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and smooth the top.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the salad is completely firm and set.
  9. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
