1 lg. red delicious apple
1/2 c. seedless green grapes
1 c. fresh cranberries, washed
1 navel orange, peeled and sectioned with membranes removed
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
2 env. unflavored gelatin
2 c. cranberry juice, cocktail

Peel, core, and chop apple. Place in a large bowl. Cut each grape in half; add to apple. Chop cranberries and orange segments and walnuts. Toss well to mix; cover and set fruit mixture aside.

Sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup of the cranberry juice cocktail. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. Stir over low heat until gelatin is dissolved.

Add sugar to gelatin mixture; stir to dissolve. Pour into a metal bowl. Add remaining cranberry juice cocktail and the lemon juice. Place bowl in a larger bowl of crushed ice or ice cubes. Stir cranberry mixture until consistency of unbeaten egg whites.

When gelatin mixture begins to thicken, pour into fruit mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. Gently pour into a 5 1/2 cup mold or pour into a metal baking pan. Chill in refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
