Cranberry Jell-o Salad

I'm trying to mimic Mom's salad, but not sure exactly how she makes it so I improvised a bit.  Let me know if it's close or what changes can be made....

Ingredients:

2-0.3 oz sugar-free raspberry jello packets
1-14 oz. can of whole berry cranberries
3 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 T lemon juice
1-6 oz. can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 medium Granny Smith apple, chopped
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Directions:

When you chop the apple up, mix in with the lemon juice & pineapple to prevent discoloring.  Follow directions to make the jello - once the powder has dissolved, mix in the apples & pineapple and boil a few more minutes.  Mix in the cold water (from jello package) and remaining ingredients.  Pour all into a bowl and put in refrigerator to set.  Tastes best if done the night before.  Once it's set, stir it up and enjoy!
