This was very tasty, but also very sweet. I will make this again, but next time I will add more water & unflavored gelatin to keep the consistency. (It solidified great, as long as you add 6 ounces of jello not 3 like in the small boxes) I also topped it with a blend of 1 cup softened cream cheese, 1 cup plain yogurt, 3/4 cup sugar & a dash of vanilla. Cranberry haters did like it - never even knew they were in there.

I made this for Christmas Eve dinner and it received rave reviews from all who tried it. Everyone had seconds! I served it in a decorative glass bowl and it was beautiful. I omitted the pecans because of the kids, although I think they would have been delicious in it. I also had whipped cream on the table for anyone who wanted a dollop on top. It was absolutely delicious and I will make it a lot. My mom even asked for the recipe!

I made this for Thanksgiving and was asked to make it again for Christmas! The only change I made was using cranberry Jello instead of cherry.

Double stars for this, 5 just isn't enough!Loved it for my thanksgiving feast and it will definately appear for Christmas too. Divine and so easy to make. I couldn't bear to put it in a 9x13 pan though. It's too beautiful...just lightly oil a mold of any kind and chill it until set. To release it from the mold put the bottom of the mold in hot water for no more than 10 seconds and flip it onto a plate . Gorgeous just gorgeous!

Wonderful! We'll enjoy this more than just at the holidays. Easy and quick. I put it in a Jello mold sprayed lightly with Pam, and it came out perfectly.

I made this with our Christmas dinner. I used dark cherry gelatin and omitted the pecans. It was not too sweet and a nice change from the fruit salad I usually serve. Everyone enjoyed it. Thanks!

I really enjoyed this salad. I only had whole cranberry sauce on hand, so I used that and it didn't set up well. But I just added one packet of dissolved unflavored gelatin and it turned out fine. Great taste.

I made this for Christmas Eve and then served the leftovers on Christmas. I was very pleased with the results and had many request for the recipe. Followed the instructions exactly except I served in a crystal bowl and it looked lovely. If you do this then cut down on the nuts since they float to the top and you will have less surface area to cover. I disagree with the reviewer that this taste nothing like cranberries and like cherry jello. It does have a subtle cranberry flavor and the cherry flavor blends in very well. Will make again next year.
