Donna's Cranberry Salad

Many years ago,  Donna C. wrote out and gave this recipe to me.  We like it a lot!

You will need:

Large size (6 oz.) raspberry Jell-O
1 and 1/2 cups boiling water
1 can (15-16 oz.) whole cranberries
~~~
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 can crushed pineapple with its liquid
1/2 cup very cold water
~~~
1 pint of sour cream


DIRECTIONS:

Add the Jell-O to the boiling water and stir constantly until sugar is dissolved.  Add cranberries.   Mix well.  Now add the chopped nuts, pineapple and the cold water. 

Pour only 1/2 of this into a 9x13-inch pan and let it get very firm.  Spread the pint of sour cream on the firm layer.  Spoon remainder of mixture over the sour cream layer and refrigerate until firm (for all day or overnight works best),
