Black Cherry Chiffon Gelatin

Happy Thanksgiving!! I’ll be sharing with you all the wonderful Thanksgiving dishes we will be feasting on today. Thanksgiving Dinner wouldn’t be the same without some sort of jell-o salad on the table. Black Cherry Chiffon Gelatin salad is light and fluffy. Perfect as a side dish or light dessert. Like all jello salads, this salad can be made ahead of time. Just remember to un-mold any jello salad right before serving.

Black Cherry Chiffon Salad is made with black cherry gelatin, cran-cherry juice, crushed pineapple, chopped pecans and non-dairy whipped topping. All ingredients are stirred, mixed and whipped until a delicious, light and fluffy gelatin salad is revealed. I am a sucker for a gelatin salad and this is one of my favorites. Call me old-fashioned but I love a good jello salad. When was the last time you made a delicious jello salad?

Gelatin

There are several forms of gelatin but granulated gelatin is the most common form of unsweetened commercial gelatin on the market. It’s packaged in boxes of 1/4 ounce envelopes and is also available in bulk. Generally, one envelope of gelatin will jell 2 cups of liquid. It’s important to soak gelatin in cold liquid or whatever the recipe directs, for 3 to 5 minutes before before dissolving it. This softens and swells the gelatin granules so they will dissolve smoothly when heated.
