A friend of mine brought this to a Thanksgiving Dinner and it was FANTASTIC!!! My husband, who never combines anything remotely sweet to his dinner, loved this that spoke volumes to how delicious this is. I have been looking for this recipe for years (my friend lost it) and will be making it this Thanksgiving. I will be using walnuts instead of pecans, walnuts were used when I had it, nor a topping and it was still excellent.

I made this for an Elks organization fund raiser. Made 4X the original recipe. It kept well, and was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved it!

I have made this salad every Thanksgiving for years, but have never used the topping on it. I think I'll try it this year.

I made this for a funeral luncheon at our church. This was my first attempt at a Jello mold (which I actually made in a bundt pan), so it didn't look so great, but I think with practice, it would look delightful. I omitted the celery. I don't know if I didn't soften the cream cheese long enough, but my whipped topping did not "spread" easilly on top of the mold, so it looked pretty gross. I think next time I would serve the topping on the side. It does smell and taste delicious, though!

I too was skeptical - made it for mother's day - put the whipped/cream topping on the side - there wasn't a bite left! I think I chopped the pecans a little too finely. Very Good!

This was fantastic-- everyone who loved cranberry sauce and cranberries loved this recipe-- everyone else just wouldn't try it. It looks add but it is excellent with turkey. Next time I make this, I may use cranberry jello if I can find it or else other flavors may good. I wasn't sure if raspberry was the best match but I am sure almost any flavor would come out pretty good.

I've never gotten so many compliments on a cranberry salad before! I followed the recipe as written, but added a bit more celery (for texture) plus a handful of dried cranberries. Delicious!

I 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. It was wonderful!
