Made this the last two Thanksgivings and we love it. I wasn't fond of the topping (needed to be a little sweeter), so I substituted one I found in several similar recipes: Beat till smooth an 8 oz package of cream cheese, a cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of sugar. Spread it on top and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Making it tonight for a staff Christmas party for tomorrow!

I made this salad yesterday to have for Thanksgiving and it did not congell! A neighbor told me the recipe was incorrect and should have read DRAIN THE PINEAPPLE! This had to be eaten with a spoon.

I made this recipe for christmas. I used sugar-free black cherry jello (my daughter grabbed the wrong box of jello) instead & it turned out pretty good. I will be making this again for thanksgiving & next time I well try the raspberry jello.

I just made this for Thanksgiving, exactly as written and it was wonderful! Next time I will use 1/4 c less pecans, but it was great!

I have been making a very simular salad for years,but, lost mine. I read all the reviews and for the ones that didn't put the celery in really lost out and again for the ones that didn't put the topping on top again really cheated your guest. It is a salad not a dessert. Thanks for Grandma's Cranberry Orange Gelatin Salad , I'll be making it for Thanksgiving Dinner again this year 2010.

I have made a variation of this recipe for years, and it has become a staple at our holiday meals. I use one 6oz pkg of the raspberry jello and another 6 oz pkg of cherry jello. I also had a cup of chopped fresh cranberries for added crunch. I omit the whipped topping mix, and usually make this dish in a jello mould for presentation.

Although I'm not a fan of most jello salads, this one was good. Used orange jello. It turned out a bit watery. Should have only added 1 1/2 cup water instead of 2. Maybe a different nut, a salted one or pretzels would work also.
