MOM'S THANKSGIVING CRANBERRY JELLO MOLD
A MUST for us! A neighbor in Omaha had given this to my Mom in the early'60's and she has made it every Thanksgiving since. Now I make the holiday, so I make the mold! It's very easy. Keep in mind that this has walnuts just in case you have guests who are allergic to nuts. Enjoy! *You can make this 2 days before serving so I will make it on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and keep it in the mold in the refrigerator and just unmold it before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen or canned cranberries, and they will make your jello more flavorful and vibrant. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen or canned cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Cook the cranberries until they burst: This will help to extract their flavor and color. You can cook them in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or you can microwave them in a covered dish for 1-2 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Add sugar to taste: Cranberries are tart, so you will need to add sugar to your jello to make it palatable. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference, but a good starting point is 1 cup of sugar for every 1 cup of cranberry juice.
- Use a high-quality gelatin: The quality of your gelatin will affect the texture of your jello. Look for a gelatin that is made from 100% beef or pork skin, and avoid gelatins that contain artificial ingredients.
- Chill your jello thoroughly: Jello needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, in order to set properly. Do not put warm or hot jello into the refrigerator, as this can cause it to curdle.
Conclusion:
Cranberry jello is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With its bright red color and tart flavor, cranberry jello is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
