Cranberry Wobbler
"This came from a holiday recipe collecton from Jell-o many years ago. It requires a little effort (grinding the cranberries), but it's well worth it. Cooking time is time in fridge for mold to set."

I used to grind the cranberries in the old food grinder that clamps to the counter, then moved to the Cuisinart, but now I put them in a pan and heat them on a low heat until they start to pop and get mushy, brings out the juices too, I then just add them to the jello when its time and people really like it, one more pan to clean but they turn out so good. -
Amazing. I used sugar free jello, and it turned out great. I used a bowl instead of mold, and it was still great. Great, healtheir cranberry option for thanksgiving. -
Fantastic, we all loved it. Yes, grinding the cranberries were time consuming (I want a mini Cuisinart now!) but well worth it. I used orange flavored jell-o, mandarin oranges and walnuts. Thanks Mary! -
This is the best Cranberry Salad I have ever made! Definitely a keeper! -
I've been making this wonderful salad for years and always get a couple extra bags of cranberries to freeze so I can make it whenever I want. I do use sugar free gelatin in place of the regular and if you can't find a fresh orange, the canned mandarins work great! Also, grinding the cranberries is a snap with a few seconds in the food processor! It's a colorful addition to the table and a delicious sweet/tart and refreshing taste in every bite! Thank you for posting!:)

I'm a grandmother who loves having the grandkids around. My son is currently living with me (on a short term basis) so I get to see and spend time with his kids more than I ever had, and that's a great thing.
I love trying new recipes and since I have found RecipeZaar, the new dishes have been streaming. Sometimes I think the kids would prefer a little break, but until they speak up, it's something new for them about everytime they visit with us.
I don't consider myself a 'cook,' I can only follow recipes. To me a cook is someone who can come up with their own recipes and have success at it (like my daughter).
