Christmas Jelly Salad

I love this jelly salad as a side dish with Christmas dinner!  You can also serve it as a dessert, if you'd rather - it's kind of halfway between a dessert and a salad.  You can add or subtract fruits as you like - green grapes and strawberries are nice in it too.  Hope you like it :)

1.  Drain pineapple, and pour juice into the Thermomix bowl; set pineapple aside for later:

- 2 x 440g tins of crushed pineapple, unsweetened

     There should be approx. 400g of pineapple juice.

2.  Add berries to the juice in the Thermomix bowl and cook at 100 degrees for 15 mins, reverse, speed 1:

- 450g frozen berries (cranberries/mixed berries/cherries)

3.  Juice an orange and stir gelatine into juice until dissolved:

- 1 orange, juiced

- 2 heaped Tblspns gelatine powder (3 sachets)

(For a vegan version, substitute agar agar powder for gelatine)

4.  Add thickened orange juice and honey to berry mixture in bowl and cook at 100 degrees for 2 minutes, reverse, speed 2:

- orange juice mixture

- 180g raw honey

5.  Pour juice and berries into a large jelly mold (or bowl), leaving about a cupful in the Thermomix bowl.  Add orange to Thermomix and blend until smooth, moving speed dial slowly up to speed 9 for about 20 seconds:

- 1 peeled orange

     Add orange-berry mixture to berries and juice in the jelly mold (or bowl).

6.  Place in Thermomix bowl and chop on speed 4-5 for 5 seconds:

- 2 sticks of celery (no leaves)

- 1 green apple, quartered

- 65g raw walnuts or pecans

    (if you want pretty slices, you could chop by hand)

7.  Add to the berry mixture in the bowl:

- chopped celery, apple & nuts

- reserved crushed pineapple

     Stir together, and cover.

8.  Chill for a few hours or until jelly is set - you can put it in the freezer for a little while if you're in a hurry!
