Pineapple Cranberry Salad

Our daughter-in-law, Tina, recently brought this yummy fruit dish up for one of our family nights, and it was a hit! Very light and tasty!

1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
2 pkg. (4 serving size each) raspberry jello
1 can (16 oz) whole berry cranberry sauce
1 apple, chopped
2/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

My mom also adds a can of drained mandarin oranges, and that is SO good.

Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Add enough cold water to juice to measure 3 cups; Bring to boil in saucepan, remove from heat. Add jello mixes; stir 2 minutes. Stir in cranberry sauce. Pour into large bowl. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hour or until slightly thickened.
Stir in pineapple, apple, walnuts, and mandarins.
Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.
