    • • 1 1/2 cups boiling water

    3. 3. Add in 3/4 cup of the chopped pecans and the cranberry or apple juice and stir to combine, then carefully pour into a 9x13-inch glass dish or jello mold and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
    4. TOPPING
    5. 1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese on high speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
    6. 2. Add the powdered sugar and sour cream and mix well until completely combined, then spread over the top of the set Jell-O.
    7. 3. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, then serve.
