Mini-Jell-O Molds

I know, I know...The thought of Jell-O molds conjures up images of old-fashioned housewives at best, and that horrible cat-food-laden lime mold from Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation at worst.  But I am making individual Jell-O molds for Thanksgiving this year and I promise they are good!  And they are pretty.  :o)

Here's the recipe:

Cranberry-Pineapple Minis

1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple, in juice, undrained
2 pkg.  (3 oz. each) raspberry or cherry Jell-O
1 can (16 oz.) whole berry cranberry sauce
2/3 cup  chopped walnuts
1 apple, chopped
 

DRAIN pineapple, reserving juice. Add enough water to reserved juice to measure 2-1/2 cups; pour into saucepan. Bring to boil. Add to dry gelatin mixes in large bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved.

STIR in pineapple, cranberry sauce, nuts and apples. Spoon into 24 paper-lined muffin cups.

REFRIGERATE 2-1/2 hours or until firm. Remove desserts from liners before serving.
