  1. This may be considered a salad, however, we had this for dessert, and yes, it was excellent. I used fresh cranberries, fresh pineapple and crushed pecans. The cherry Jell-O gave it a delightful flavor. This will be and very good summer salad. Thank you for sharing Betsy. "Uncle Bill"
     
  2. I made this for Thanksgiving and forgot to review. I was looking for a cranberry salad that was sweeter than usual since some of my family are not huge fans of cranberries. They loved this! Definitely a keeper, thanks for posting!
     
  3. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe! It was a big hit at my Thanksgiving table. People especially liked that this dish is sweeter, less tart, than the usual cranberry sauce. I was asked at the dinner table to be sure I made this every year for our holiday dinner. Thank you for a hands down new favorite.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am in Northeastern Ohio. Have lived here my entire life. I am retired. I was raised at my Grandmother's side, with an apron and wooden spoon, as my small chef's wardrobe! We spent many happy times, in her kitchen baking and cooking up memories! My love of the culinary arts has never waned. It seems I still cook and bake, as if I were feeding everyone at Grandma's Boarding House! (although my neighbors are happy about the "goodies" I am constantly sending their way!) I must learn to cook for two... My kitchen is in my Cape Cod Style home and done in a French Country style, with french blue and pale yellow, accented with white.
