Thanks for posting this recipe. My Grandma made it years ago. She just used 1 naval orange, walnuts, a bag of cranberries and cup of sugar. Next time I will try the crushed pineapple. She never had the water written down in her recipe so I never knew how much to use.

My grandma also made a very similar salad to this one, using a whole orange (peel and all) rather than pineapple. Her recipe also calls for celery (maybe a cup?, very finely chopped), which sounds terrible but is actually quite good. Also, she let the jello partially set before adding in all the rest of the stuff so the solid bits (nuts, cranberries etc) don't all settle on the bottom.

My mom's cranberry salad is a hit and always requested for Thanksgiving and other holidays. She uses 8 oz. crushed pineapple, 1/2 cup cranberry juice, 2 tbsp. lemon juice, 1 pkg. raspberry jello, 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Walnuts are optional but mostly great in my opinion. Put reserved pineapple juice, cranberry juice and lemon juice to boil. Add gelatin. Put in cranberry sauce and after cooled add pineapple and celery (nuts if desired). Enjoy!

Awesome recipe, thanks!! I added 2 stalks of celery. I cant wait for the family to try this!

I use raspberry or cranberry gelatin - make a brighter red. Nuts - 1 to 1 1/2 cups. In addition to recipe I add 2 oranges, unpeeled - ground.

Thanks for the recipe. It is amazing. I added chopped apple and pear as well. Delicious!

My family recipe is so beautiful and Delicious.. May be served individually by cutting squares of the jello and laying on a large red leaf lettuce or romaine lettuce leaf for color and beauty:

Holiday Cranberry Jello

Bon Appetit!

My mother made this for years. It was a hard job back then having to bring it all by hand. Thanks for food processors. Its a whiz now.

My mom's made this cranberry salad for years. Think she put in chopped celery & mandarin oranges with the walnuts. Always used cranberry jello- not the same without it. Now mom's passed away- we miss her so much and so this recipe is a part of her we'll cherish for the rest of our lives.

Great!

So easy. So simple. So delicious!!!

Yummy, Busha made this just for me. This year I'll be making it.

Best recipe ever! I add grapes, apple and celery. My Mother made this for us and I found this recipe... It's just like Mom made only she added the grapes, apple and celery. Can't go wrong with this one... DELISH!!!

My family loves to use this as a vanilla ice cream topping!

Delicious palate cleanser!
