1 can jellied cranberry sauce
3 packages cherry, raspberry or orange flavored gelatin
1 cup sugar
1/2 bottle liquid fruit pectin
1 cup chopped nuts
additional sugar
1. Place cranberry sauce in a saucepan; beat until smooth. Bring to a
boil over medium heat.
2. Stir in gelatin and sugar; simmer 10 minutes, stirring frequently
until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in fruit pectin. Add nuts and stir 10 minutes to keep nuts from
floating. Pour into buttered square pan.
4. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.

candy out onto paper; cut into squares with spatula dipped in warm
water.
