Before I even know what this recipe taste like, I am in a dilemma. I followed the recipe exactly to the dot, but not knowingly, used fresh pineapple juice I have on hand. Then I discover that the jello won't set. I think if the recipe had warned that only canned pineapple to be used, I would be in a better spot right now. So warning to all newbies like me.

My children and I enjoyed making this salad together. My husband who is the cranberry fan in our family, liked this recipe and asked me to make it again. This is a keeper!

I have made this salad twice and everyone loved it both times. The first time, I forgot to get rasberry jello and used cherry instead. It was still great. I also added crushed walnuts to the recipe. I was asked for the recipe both times. Highly recommend!

I don't know what I was thinking, I agreed to make a jello dish for an anniversary luncheon. Nobody eats jello, and I knew I would be stuck with lots of left overs. When I saw the reviews for this dish, I was willing to take a chance. I did use dried cranberries, that I chopped up. I also chopped up pecans and threw those in. I also cut the grapes smaller, since I knew there would be babies eating it. I think the real key is, it needs to be in the fridge 24 hours. when I blended the ingredients, it didn't look good at all. I tasted it, and was not pleased. Then after sitting 24 hours in the fridge, it was totally different in appearance & flavor. Out of the hundreds of events I have been too, there is always left over jello. Until now, not only did I come home with a clean bowl, I had many people asking for the recipe. Thanks for all the reviews for their helpful suggestions!

I was sooooo upset to learn after putting lots of hard work into this recipe, that not only was I not crazy about the taste, but my family did not like it either. Two whole pans was wasted this Thanksgiving. :( What can I say...us, Southerners are used to our salty, homemade cornbread dressing.

This was so good! Everyone loved it. I used pineapple juice for the water, sugar free jello, splenda, and I also added celery, walnuts, and pomegrante. I will have to make this every year at Thanksgiving.

This is a great recipe. I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it! I used cherry gelatin instead just because thats what I had on hand.

Delicious! We had this for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. My oldest son begs for this to be made. Easily adapts to different fruit variations. Thank you.

Served this at Christmas and it received rave reviews; tool a while to set, so would recommend making the day before. Used fresh cranberries and ran through a food processor. Great with both turkey and ham.

I made this for Thanksgiving, and everyone loved it, even those that don't usually like cranberry salad. They requested it again for Christmas, and it was a big hit again. This is a keeper.

This recipe will become our new family tradition. It is delicious. We like the fruit-a-plenty texture and flavor. I followed it exactly except did not find raspberry flavored gelatin in the store so used mixed fruit flavored. Overly particular mother-in-law said she could make a meal of it. I made it for T'giving and think I will make it for Christmas again. Thanks for sharing the recipe, MTM.
