Took this to a Thanksgiving dinner & it was a hit! It got lots of compliments. I liked that it was tart and cut some of the richness of all the other foods. Could make a simple "dessert" - cleans the palate...so to speak

This is a beautiful Holiday Jello salad. Our family loves tart cherries so this with a dollop of whip cream really does the trick. Also, a tablespoon or two are great on a leftover turkey sandwich (no whip cream though!)
