Souder Family Cranberry Jello Salad
"Its not Thanksgiving for me unless I have cranberry jello salad. This recipe comes from my mother's side of the family and has been a tradition at Souder Thanksgiving meals for as long as I have been alive. Super easy and delicious! Cooling and chilling take several hours, so prepare at least a day before you plan on serving. I always double the recipe; if you do this, split between at least two containers before chilling or it will take forever to set. (Its still good if it doesn't set!)"

This is the best cranberry salad. I don't care for citrus which is a common ingredient in cranberry recipes. Thanks for sharing. -

I am a stay-at-home-dad who loves to cook for my daughters and my sweet sugar momma. I am lactose intolerant and my honey's intolerant of gluten but these are easily navigated.
This year my dream came true and a great butcher shop opened up in our small town and only two blocks from our house! With a natural food co-op across the street and a community supported farmers market only four blocks away, my family eats well!
