This is an excellent cranberry dish. I made this yesterday with a topping and minor changes. I used a can of jelled cranberries, a can of whole cranberries, a large can of crushed pineapple, the cherries and as per another reviewer a small can of mandarin oranges. I drained the juices from the fruit and used it for the liquid to mix with the large box of cherry jello. I omitted the pecans at this point. After cooling to set, I made a topping using one 8 oz pkg of cream cheese, 12 oz. Cool Whip, 1/2 cup sugar and a small container of strawberry yogurt. I spread this on top, garnished it with fresh stawberries and sprinkled the chopped pecans on top. DELICIOUS!!!!!

I made this for my diabetic grandpa who recently had a stroke and is in hospital. He loves gelatin salads. I used sugar free jello, a little less cranberry sauce, and I drained all the fruit and added an extra package of sugar free cherry jello and 3/4 cup extra water (because the fruit has sugar in it.) I poured it into mini disposable tin foil loaf pans, and bring him one every day when we see him. He LOVES it! Thanks for making his day. As a side note: I hate gelatin salads, and I can't stop eating this one...I would eat it as a dessert and can't wait to try other flavors of jello, like black cherry or wild cherry or raspberry...mmmm.

We are having a huge seafood christmas dinner and I new the Crans would be missed so I settled on this recipe to get it in there somehow. I added a small can of mandarin oranges I chopped, I made the other reviewers sauce and set aside, This hasn't even hit the fridge to set when my husband came by to do a (taste test), All I heard was "WOW, where you get this, This is great", So my mold will be an inch lower than it should be,(extra testers) More room for topping I guess, So This is a Huge hit and it hasn't even set up Yet, Thanks, I'm gonna make another one I see where this one is headed already!

I don't eat fruit, but everyone told me this was one of the best gelatin salads they ever had. I topped it with the tangy topping that MPCHARVAT recommended. I also saved the juice from the cherries and used as part of the boiling water. I sent this recipe home with all the families that were over. They have since told me they have made it for potlucks for their work,etc and they have not brought any home.

This recipe can easily be used for a refreshing dessert. Serve with gelatin set in champagne glasses and top with whipped cream. Top with a pecan half. Use all the fruit(s)drained liquid to create a portion of the liquid required in this recipe. The flavor will be enhanced! Leave nuts out of the recipe for those who do not care for nuts!

We're hooked. It was really good. I served it on Thanksgiving with the topping given by one of the reviewers here which is also excellent. I couldn't find the cherries anywhere and finally used a can of fruit cocktail I happened to have. Used whole cranberries. My sister-in-law and niece hate cranberries but LOVED it. Will make with cherries next time. Still, rave reviews from everyone. Thanks for the recipe!

This was really good. Use the right amount of Jello - a small box is 3 oz so you need two boxes. Prepare the Jello according to this recipe directions, not the box directions, otherwise you're adding twice the amount of water than needed. I used sweet cherries packed in water and pineapple packed in its own juice to cut down on the sweetness. I also added a teaspoon of lemon juice. I used the cherry juice and added enough water to make 2 cups for the liquid. I left the pecans out. I'll be making this again soon.

Very tasty! You cannot taste the cranberry at all! I actually feel like it's kinda healthy with all the different fruits and the addition of nuts. Yum!

This turned out great both times I made it. The first time I used raspberry jello and dried cherries, turned out very good, used the cream cheese topping as another reviewer suggested, it was good but didn't really need. The second time I made exact recipe without topping, was excellent. Will definetely make again. Next time I may try to incorporate sour cream into topping or layer (sounds good and similar to an old recipe). Thank you for this one!.

The salad jelled fine after 6 hours. It was good-even my 4-year old was asking for more. I personally prefer the orange-apple-cranberry chutney. It's more tangy. This is not a relish. It tastes to me like jello with fruit cocktail in it. Why put cranberry in it at all if the finished product tastes like cherries? Good, but not the spectacular Thanksgiving dish I was looking for.

This is an outstanding recipe and I have made it for several family and church gatherings and everyone raves about it. I have made one slight change and that is to use the whole berry cranberry sauce instead of the jellied cranberry sauce.

Crazy Great Gello Salad!! Reviewer are right: people who do Not like cranberry jello loove this salad!! Tip: used a large package of Raspberry Jello dissolved into warm cherry juice from canned cherries, adding water to make 2 cups. I used whole berry cranberry sauce as my family enjoys the fruit texture. However non-family members who are also smooth-cranberry-jello lovers slurped this up!! I also oven-roasted a cup of pecans a few minutes to crisp them up before cooling & adding to the salad. I then poured this into two separate 4-cup decorative molds (sprayed with PAM first to ease removal). After refrigerating overnight, this delicious gelatin salad unmolds onto a bed of greens looking like a magazine photo shoot!! Drizzled some sweet coleslaw dressing over all, sprinkled with a few more roasted pecans and plopped a dollop of whipped cream on top. Wowee Kazowie!! It was Gone in 30 minutes!! Thank you for a fabulous recipe!!
