To me, this is absolutely the most nostalgic, Christmas-ey little side dish! Grandma always made it for our family gathering on Christmas Day. Yes, it's jello, but it turns out so pretty! It's a simple, yummy, crowd-pleaser that will have a permanent place on my Christmas dinner menu.
1 6 oz. package green Jello (plus water, as directed)
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple
2 red apples, cut into bite size pieces
1 pomegranate, seeded
1/2 c. chopped pecans
Boil 2 cups of water. Add the jello and stir until dissolved. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cold water. Gently pour into a 9x13 pan. Add the crushed pineapple, apples, pomegranate seeds, and pecans. Stir gently to distribute fruit. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate several hours until set.
