I made this for a holiday dinner and my family loved it. It did not have a strong cranberry flavor, but it was very good.

This was a huge hit at Thanksgiving and I've been asked to make it again for x-mas.

This was very good, made it in a jello mold and served on Thanksgiving, I don't usually eat Cranberry sauce (although I serve it) and this one changed my mind, it was delicious. Other reviewers are right you need to have the cream cheese at room temp to spread. Was easy to prepare in advance and refridgerate until you use.

I have made this for about 5 Thanksgivings now - people always want the recipe. This year I made 2 changes that I liked better. I used black cherry jello and thought it was much better than just regular cherry jello. Also, I used fresh cranberries instead of canned - only added about 5-10 minutes prep time. I just followed the recipe on the cranberry bag - 1 cup water/1 cup sugar & boiled. This made it so much better in my opinion. (But if you use canned, I recommend 2 cans, otherwise it tastes too much like cherry and not enough like cranberry.) The only down side to this recipe is the wait time while chilling the first layer, but it is well worth it and is always a big hit! Delicious!

This was a nice alternative to plain cranberries! The only thing I did different was I used strawberry jello, no pecans & I added sliced bananas. I highly recomend adding the bananas. They make it even more interesting to look at + a nice flavor. Also, make sure the cream cheese is room temperature or soften it in the microwave about 20-30 seconds. It's easier to work with. This looked very elegant on the Thanksgiving table and will be apart of our holiday dinner for now on. Thanks Susan.

This is one of our favorite gelatin dishes! The only thing we don't do is put in the pecans. We serve it every Thanksgiving and everybody raves about it!

Only 2 out of 11 would try this at dinner despite the pretty appearance. I don't think that many people are fond of cranberries. It was quite sweet.

My family enjoyed it, but I was a little disappointed on how the cream cheese spread did not spread easily on top of the jello. I had to just mix the jello with the cream cheese.

I brought this salad to thanksgiving dinner...WOW! It was a big hit. I have even had family calling me for the recipe to take to their Christmas parties. It is an excellent dish if you are not much into cranberries! You get just enough taste of the cranberries. I added a little more pineapple juice, but besides that it was great!!!

A hit with my family members who "hate cranberries". A shot of cool whip on the top seals the deal.

This was so good, and a pretty addition to the holiday table. I used sugar free jello this time, and it turned out just as well as the regular. Great recipe!
