We made this for Thanksgiving and it was a very good addition to the table! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> I think it will be a permanent addition! Thanks! I might think about preparing it in a mold or something next time, to fancy it up.

So glad you liked this -it is also great on turkey sandwiches. I am not sure it has the right gelatin ratio to mold, but is certainly worth a try. We always put it in a pretty cut glass dish.

So, you think it would mold better if there was more gelatin?

i ended up making georgia's green bean casserole, dharma's potatoes, banana chocolate chip bread, roasted brussel sprouts, jalapeno cornbread, autumn apple cake, and a couple of refreshing cocktails. i will try to get recipes and photos posted later this week. dharma's potatoes were ridiculously delicious... must be all that butter. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Wow! Can't wait to see pictures! I'm going to try some new ones for Christmas- especially that apple cake!

<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> Glad the potato filling came out well! I only used 1 1/2 sticks of butter in mine but I think 2 is probably the minimum for that absurdly luxurious flavor! They were good but lacked that "omg!" factor.


If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning. [Linked Image]

I do. I think I would add a packet of plain gelatin or maybe just 1/2 packet.

I'd rather get the gelatin (collagen) from turkey and/or chicken wing tips... probably the best source of natural gelatin there is...

My very similar recipe calls for a large pkg of strawberry jello, 1 Cup boiling water, 1 can whole cranberry (which has thickener in it as well), 1 can mandarin oranges, 1 15 oz can crushed pineapple and 1/3 to 1/2 cup chopped nuts (peacans or walnuts work well). I always drain both the mandarin oranges and the crushed pinapple and reserve their comingled juices, then I add about half the saved amount of liquid to the mixture. Spoon everything in to a 6 cup mold that has been sprayed with pam and let set overnight. I never had any problem with it setting up or holding its shape during a meal. It is a must at any turkey meal and very refreshing.

It should be two small packages of Jello or one large package of Jello, not one small.


[color:"blue"]Chunky Sweet Cranberry Relish with Jello[/color]
Preparation Time:10 min

Cooking Time:15 min

Ingredients
2 small packages raspberry jello
1 cup sugar (I usually reduce to 1/2 cup)
1 cup boiling water
2 cups cranberries, chopped fine
2 cups chopped apples, peeled & chopped fine (I like Granny Smith)
2 or 3 stalks of celery, chopped fine
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Instructions

1.Dissolve jello and sugar in boiling water.
2.Chop cranberries, apples, celery and walnuts in food processor - I usually do this about a cup at a time in my mini chopper - chop pretty fine.
3.Add the fruits and veggies to the jello. Chill. You can put this in a festive mold, if desired.

ina's jalapeno cheddar cornbread recipe

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/jalapeno-cheddar-cornbread-recipe/index.html

i usually make these as muffins, but time limiting i threw it into a 9x13 casserole.

smashed cauliflower

some reviews said that it was like soup... i should've heeded the reviews. i actually strained this with cheesecloth. taste was still very good.

georgia's green bean casserole

not sure if i used the wrong casserole size... it was good, but for the 8x8 surface area on top, too much cheese for my tastes.

dharma's potato filling pre-baking

this was a big hit. this will be part of my thanksgiving tradition. i kept it chunky, but may dice celery and bread smaller next time. LOVED this recipe. thanks again.

i also made the autumn apple cake again. not sure what i did different, but this time it did not come out very well... it was pale and taste off. it may have been the gin cocktail that p made me... he makes a stiff drink.

homemade vanilla ice cream was also made; it went so fast that i forgot to photo it. sorry.

Actually my recipe calls for one small package of jello. It is meant to be a relish not a molded or congealed salad.

L, the green bean casserole works better in a 9X13 pan...I should have specified that. Still, your picture looks perfect; I recognized it immediately!

what's funny is that as i was making it, i had a feeling it should be a bigger casserole size since the bean and cheese layer were pretty proportionate. but my rule with a recipe is to make it as is the first time, tweek next time. now i know. can't wait to do this all over again next year! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />
