SOUDER FAMILY CRANBERRY JELLO SALAD
Its not Thanksgiving for me unless I have cranberry jello salad. This recipe comes from my mother's side of the family and has been a tradition at Souder Thanksgiving meals for as long as I have been alive. Super easy and delicious! Cooling and chilling take several hours, so prepare at least a day before you plan on serving. I always double the recipe; if you do this, split between at least two containers before chilling or it will take forever to set. (Its still good if it doesn't set!)

Steps:
- Cook cranberries and sugar in 1 1/2 cups of water until cranberries have popped (split open).
- Pour raspberry gelatin mix into cooked cranberries and stir until dissolved.
- Add 2 cups cold water and let cool for 2 hours.
- If desired, transfer to a serving bowl or storage container.
- Mix in celery, walnuts and undrained crushed pineapple.
- Chill in refrigerator until firm, approximately 3 - 4 hours, overnight is ideal.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and juicy flavor that is perfect for this salad. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Don't overcook the cranberries: The cranberries should be cooked just until they pop. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a good quality gelatin: The gelatin is what gives this salad its structure. Be sure to use a good quality gelatin that will set up properly.
- Chill the salad thoroughly before serving: This salad needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the gelatin to set up properly and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream: This salad is delicious served with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. The sweetness of the whipped cream or ice cream will complement the tartness of the cranberries.
Conclusion:
This cranberry jello salad is a classic holiday side dish that is always a hit with family and friends. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy hosts. The tartness of the cranberries is balanced by the sweetness of the sugar and pineapple, and the jello gives the salad a light and fluffy texture. This salad is a delicious and refreshing way to end a holiday meal.
