Aunt Jeanne's Raspberry Salad

This is our aunt's amazing raspberry jello salad recipe. It's a hit with all ages, beautiful to look at, and is made ahead of time! I like to serve salads like this with spicy food or one-pot meals that benefit from an extra little side dish.

2 3-oz. packages red raspberry jello (or 1 6-oz. package)

1 1/2 c. hot water

2 boxes frozen red raspberries (~20 oz.)

1 c. unsweetened applesauce

Dissolve jello in hot water. Add partially thawed berries. Add applesauce. Stir until smooth. Pour into molds (or one big pan--you can cut it into squares later). Chill until set.

Makes 10-12 servings
