Best Ever Cranberry Salad image

This recipes was orginally my DH's Grandmothers and has been tweaked by my MIL. I didn't care for cranberry salad ever till I tried this. I have been making this for years now. Its more of a Jello than a salad. Great to get kids to eat something different. It's definitely something I look forward to eating every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Great on biscuits and rolls. I make this in a large glass decorative bowl because it doesn't look good if you try to transfer it to another dish for the meals. ** Note this is best if made the night before to give time for proper set. I have a lower sugar version posted also. Suggested serving size is about 3 tablespoons.

This is the worst cranberry salad I've ever had. It's bland, watery, and the cranberries are mushy.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my salad didn't turn out very well. It was too watery and the cranberries were too tart.

This salad is a good starting point, but I think it needs a few tweaks. I would add some more spices and maybe some chopped nuts.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberry salad, but this recipe was pretty good. I might make it again sometime.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

This salad is really easy to make, but it's not very impressive. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this salad to be a bit too tart. I think I'll add some more sugar next time.

This salad is way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used old cranberries.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bunch left over after Thanksgiving, and this is a great way to use them up.

I love that this salad is so versatile. I've made it with different types of nuts and fruits, and it's always delicious.

I made this salad exactly as the recipe said and it turned out perfectly. It's a great make-ahead salad, too.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed this salad. The sweetness of the cranberries was perfectly balanced by the tartness of the orange and the crunch of the walnuts.
