Thanksgiving Countdown: Cranberry Pineapple Minis


By MegansCookin (Visit website)




Thanksgiving is about 2 weeks away and I'm getting the craving for some of the traditional foods of Thanksgiving.
Since there is just the three of us, I don't do the whole traditional dinner. I usually do prime rib. It's easier and I don't have all the trimmings to worry about. Besides, I'm the only one who eats the cranberry sauce, the sweet potato souffle, or the dressing. So, I'll just mix in some of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes into our regularly scheduled dinners over the next few weeks.
Like this dish.


Simple ingredients that one usually has on hand this time of year, this was as quick as making jello. That's because you are making jello. With a few mix-ins. The original recipe had walnuts in it. I chose macadamia nuts because it sounded good with the pineapple. Pecans would also be good. Add whatever your favorite nut is.


These minis were made in cupcake papers but it would be a lot easier to make one big bowlful. Just not as much fun!

The family's verdict. No one liked them but me. But I thought they were tasty and I would make them for Thanksgiving. If I were making Turkey with all the trimmings.
