In a large bowl, dissolve the gelatin mix in water. Stir in the crushed pineapple and cranberry sauce (homemade or canned). Allow to set and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Take out of the refrigerator. Stir in grapes and pecans. Pour into a 2-qt. serving bowl or a 9x13 baking dish. Refrigerate overnight or until firm. Can be made a day or 2 ahead.
