I've been using this recipe every year since 2004. It's a complete hit with everyone in my family, including picky eaters. I don't change a thing - it's simply the perfect compliment to turkey dinner, and adds such nice color to your plate.

So good! I didn't have pineapple or raspberry jello. So, I added frozen cherries and raspberries. And I substituted strawberry banana Jello for the raspberry Jello. I thought it wasn't going to set, but it did after about 8 hours.

We make a lot of jell-o salads at our house and this is a new favorite. I made the recipe actually as it was written, and it turned out terrific. I made it in a 9x9 glass dish, so I would have big thick pieces. It was perfect.

It's beautiful!!! I really liked it, but gave it four stars because it was very very sweet. I used sugar free jello and people were shocked that I did...I'll make it again, though

Okay so I skipped the sour cream since I was serving it for Thanksgiving and some were lactose intolerant. Then since I didn't have a middle layer I also skipped the cherry jello and did all raspberry. Simple and delicious! I would like to try this and follow the recipe, but its a keeper.

I made this last year as part of Christmas dinner and it has become a new Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner tradition! Kids AND adults loved it and best of all, it can be made the day before! Put this together in your prettiest glass serving bowl... Very pretty presentation!

This was good. We served it for Easter dinner and everyone liked it, but no one LOVED it, like I'd hoped.

We love this salad. The flavors are great, and it looks beautiful in a clear glass bowl. I make it for holiday meals and summer picnics. Thanks for the great recipe!

I only used a half of a can of cranberry. I bought plastic martini glasses and divided it into eight individual servings. It was beautiful! Then I tied some ribbon on the stems of the glasses.

This was really really good. Made it for T-day and even non-cranberry fans enjoyed it! I will make this again, for sure. I did not, however, use a whole pint of sour cream. I just put a thin layer on. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

We love this and have been making it every year since it was originally posted! I substitute cool whip for the sour cream most times and change the jello flavors occasionally. Chunk pineapple instead of crushed... it all works beautifully!

Great recipe! Jello salads don't always fly at our family get-togethers, but all of this was eaten. Per other's suggestion, I also added chopped pecans to the first sour cream layer. I used only rasperry Jello since it's my favorite fruit flaver. It's a keeper.

This is so good. Don't change a thing here. Thanks for the really great recipe. It's been at our Thanksgiving table for some time now and will continue to be ... along with the other cranberry dishes people bring. Mine even has it's own special glass dish to show off it's pretty layers, ha ha ha. Everyone loves it.

I am not a jello fan and I LOVE this dish. The sour cream is very important in making it creamy and rich. I saw Paula Deen make a similar dish on her show and she said it is her favorite dish. Mine too!

This is a favorite recipe of mine from childhood that we ate every Thanksgiving. When I saw it on this site, I figured I'd throw my two cents in! I always make it in a 9x13 glass dish instead of a bowl, and I put the cranberry layer on the bottom and the raspberry layer on top. Since the frozen raspberries make the raspberry layer start setting quickly, you can stir it up for a few minutes and then spread it right on top of the sour cream without a long waiting period. (You can add a few ice cubes if the raspberries don't make it set well enough.) I usually use light sour cream to reduce the fat in this dish. I think everyone should try using sour cream the first time they make this instead of substituting. The sour cream is my favorite part!

No really sure what happened here...but the first layer of jello never solidified so I had to scrap the whole thing! :( Could be my own error though.....
