instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the strawberry and raspberry jello with 3 cups of boiling water until dissolved. Then add 1 cup of cold water and stir. Refrigerate until slightly thickened, about 1 hour.
In a food processor or blender, chop the cranberries until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the sugar substitute. Set aside.
In the same food processor or blender, chop the apples until finely shredded. You do not need to peel them. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with some lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.
In a small bowl, chop the orange until finely diced. Drain the excess juice. Set aside.
In another small bowl, drain the pineapple and reserve the juice for another use. Set aside.
When the jello is slightly thickened, stir in the cranberry mixture, apple mixture, orange, and pineapple. Mix well to combine.
Pour the salad into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours or overnight.
Cut into 12 pieces and enjoy!
I hope this helps you make a delicious and low-point salad.
