This was really good. Use the right amount of Jello - a small box is 3 oz so you need two boxes. Prepare the Jello according to this recipe directions, not the box directions, otherwise you're adding twice the amount of water than needed. I used sweet cherries packed in water and pineapple packed in its own juice to cut down on the sweetness. I also added a teaspoon of lemon juice. I used the cherry juice and added enough water to make 2 cups for the liquid. I left the pecans out. I'll be making this again soon.

This was so yummy!! Two people asked for the recipe. I did not use the nuts. People who do not like cranberry loved this salad. Thank you!

Wicked sweet. Dont make!!!!

better if pecans left off I think!

Very tasty! You cannot taste the cranberry at all! I actually feel like it's kinda healthy with all the different fruits and the addition of nuts. Yum!

One word: fabulous. The dish was a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner for a large group of friends. I made the recipe as stated and it was perfect. This receipe is a keeper.

Super easy to make and was delicious.

Great recipe! I added Coconut,and when set, garnished with Orange wedges. Tasty

This turned out great both times I made it. The first time I used raspberry jello and dried cherries, turned out very good, used the cream cheese topping as another reviewer suggested, it was good but didn't really need. The second time I made exact recipe without topping, was excellent. Will definetely make again. Next time I may try to incorporate sour cream into topping or layer (sounds good and similar to an old recipe). Thank you for this one!.

The salad jelled fine after 6 hours. It was good-even my 4-year old was asking for more. I personally prefer the orange-apple-cranberry chutney. It's more tangy. This is not a relish. It tastes to me like jello with fruit cocktail in it. Why put cranberry in it at all if the finished product tastes like cherries? Good, but not the spectacular Thanksgiving dish I was looking for.

This is an outstanding recipe and I have made it for several family and church gatherings and everyone raves about it. I have made one slight change and that is to use the whole berry cranberry sauce instead of the jellied cranberry sauce.

Crazy Great Gello Salad!! Reviewer are right: people who do Not like cranberry jello loove this salad!! Tip: used a large package of Raspberry Jello dissolved into warm cherry juice from canned cherries, adding water to make 2 cups. I used whole berry cranberry sauce as my family enjoys the fruit texture. However non-family members who are also smooth-cranberry-jello lovers slurped this up!! I also oven-roasted a cup of pecans a few minutes to crisp them up before cooling & adding to the salad. I then poured this into two separate 4-cup decorative molds (sprayed with PAM first to ease removal). After refrigerating overnight, this delicious gelatin salad unmolds onto a bed of greens looking like a magazine photo shoot!! Drizzled some sweet coleslaw dressing over all, sprinkled with a few more roasted pecans and plopped a dollop of whipped cream on top. Wowee Kazowie!! It was Gone in 30 minutes!! Thank you for a fabulous recipe!!

I spread whipped cream on top. It got rave refiews from everyone!

Yummy. Perfect for Thanksgiving, but could be made any time of year.

My family would give 10 stars if we could. I made this for Christmas Eve. I have been assigned the cranberry jello person for years. I have been making a different for years, but will now bring this one. Everyone has agreed this is the WINNER! I did follow the suggestion of "frosting" once it has set with: 8oz. softened cream cheese, 1c sour cream, 3/4c sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. It was nice and firm and we cut it in squares. Thanks Sharon.

I played around with this recipe too much, but I am still impressed. Instead of using cherries, I tried to incorporate the bag of fresh cranberries I had lying around into a mixture that already had jellied sauce. This can be done without a hitch, but I somehow added twice the liquid after, so my poor salad turned out like applesauce. BUT! I decided to throw the mixture in the blender and freeze it, which turned out to be a lovely sorbet. It sort of tastes like wildberry and the consistency is soft due to the gelatin, I suppose. Good stuff!

This was really good! I left out the nuts. Instead of using it like a regular jello, I used it on top of the very popular strawberry pretzel jello. Instead of the traditional strawberry topping that goes on the pretzel jello, I used this topping instead for Christmas. It looked so pretty and festive and everyone loved it! Thanks!
