I tried This recipe at Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it even the ones who hated cranberry sauce, cranberry jell, or just cranberry anything. It was a big hit for my little family get together of 23.

My Grandmother made this salad every year for the holiday meals. I forgot about it until I was reading recipe ideas. I have never in my life made jello, so this recipe -using a mold was a bit scary for me. However, I saw this and knew it was the same as my grandmothers, and I was bound and determined to learn. It was actually quite simple. It turned out perfect. I will add this to my traditional holdiay meals from now on...I also used the sweet potato recipe, and will never go back! Paula must have had some wonderful family cooks in her family too!!

I make this Cranberry Salad every year for every holiday! The only thing different is I put freash Apples in mine and no nuts. I freeze my Cranberries before I make it . It's much easier to crush them up frozen.I make a large bowl of this Cranberry Salad each time because it goes fast and I have never met anyone that didn't like it. Even people like myself that aren't crazy about Cranberries love it! Happy Holidays & stay safe! Hugs Sharon

is there any way that you can add a converter to your recipes so that it will recalculate for more servings? i do our church dinners and usually plan for 60 each week. i love all your recipes, but sometimes it doesn't work out to try to double or triple the recipe. next week, my menu will be pork loin, brocolli and cheese casserole, rice and fruit salad with poppy seed dressing (homemade), dessert will be banana splits. sound ok?

This is an awesomely tasty recipe! It's also good with a dab of orange peel or a tablespoon of orange marmalade.
