RACHEL'S CRANBERRY CHICKEN SALAD

GRAMMY'S CRANBERRY JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, reserving juice.
• Add water to make 1 cup.
• Boil; add Jello, stirring to dissolve.
• Stir in ginger ale.
• Blend pineapple and cranberry sauce.
• Fold into Jello.
• Chill in 9x9 inch dish.
• Make Dream Whip according to package directions.
• Beat in cream cheese.
• Spread over Jello and top with pecans.
• May add 1/4 to 1/3 cup powdered sugar to topping, if desired.
• Skip the nuts if you don't like them. Also, I tend to buy two of the smaller cans of cranberry sauce, one jellied, one chunky -- I like the extra texture. AND -- make this the night before or your frosting will be runny!
