Mom's Wine Jello
This dish goes by another name which is Port Wine Jello and I have loved this dish that my mother made for many many years and so I thought did many others. As of this Thanksgiving I came to the understanding that no one really liked it according to my friend Rachel. I think this is not so as I clearly remember my brothers and sisters going crazy over it and there usually was never enough. I know growing up over the years that my kids used to have me make it any time of the year because they loved it so much. I will say that I have noticed over the last few years that I have ended up throwing out more and more of it and I will tell you why I think this is. The kids are now older and don't care to get the jello that has wine in it because they now can consume REAL alcohol and it is so much better! Yep, that is what I think the reason is. You can give this a try and see what you think because I still love the taste of it but then again I love jellied cranberry which is one of the ingredients.
1 package of raspberry or black cherry jello
1 tuna size can of crushed pineapple
1 cup of pineapple juice from can and the rest water
1 cup of Manischewitz concord grape or blackberry wine
1 can of jellied cranberry
Mix it all together and use a potato masher or fork to break up the jellied cranberry. Chill and serve.
