This is the best gelatin salad I have ever tasted. It is fantastic and was enjoyed by even the fussiest eaters. Thanks for a great recipe!

People who don't like cranberry sauce like this because it doesn't taste like cranberry sauce at all. It tastes like cherry jello salad. I had a cranberry jello salad at a party and I'm still looking for the recipe, this wasn't it. But if you like cherry jello, make this one.

My family loves this recipe and they don't even like cranberry sauce! The only thing I did different was to use fresh cranberries. Following the "whole berry" recipe on the back of the bag but reducing the water to 1/2 a cup, I mashed the berries with the back of a spoon. It set beautifully and had a great texture.

I made this for a Ladies Valentine Luncheon (16 guests). I changed the recipe a little to use what I had available. But everyone loved it! Here's what I changed: I used strawberry gelatin rather than cherry, and I used fresh sliced strawberries rather than the pitted cherries. Otherwise I followed the recipe and scaled to make 24 servings.

I made this for my family Thanksgiving. There were many requests for its return for our family Christmas. Though I did not use the pecans. Everybody loved it even the kids!& non cranberry lovers. All asked for the recipe. Great job Sharon!

Absolute the most delicious gelatin salad ever! My family likes this one so much that I usually have to make it twice over Thanksgiving weekend!

Did I miss something? I thought this would be like jello - and set in a mold. Instead it was a runny mess...and I followed the recipe exactly. I would try more jello packets or less water - this didn't set at all! Don't think I will be trying again.

I have FINALLY found my Grandma's "famous" cranberry jello. My family was excited when they tried this recipe at our Thanksgiving dinner. Even friends that were at our family dinner tried it and were impressed with how it tasted.

Try topping it with this creamy, sweet, tangy dressing. Mix together: 8-oz softened cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, 3/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teas vanilla extract. After taking this to dozens of gatherings, I now bring preprinted recipe cards with me for the onslaught of requests I get.

If you plan on preparing this dish to contribute to a potluck or family meal - double it! Everyone loves it, and the dish is empty before you know it! I normally omit the nuts, for allergy reasons - you don't miss them.
