~ Cranberry Holiday Salad ~ image

This is a delicious salad, that's been in my family for as long as I can remember. We just love it...the topping is scrumptious! I would make this jello salad year round, if the cranberries were available. It's equally great for Christmas as well, and make a beautiful presentation! I just love it! Try it for your holidays, I...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bag(s) fresh cranberries
3/4 c water
2 c sugar
1 - 3 oz box - orange jello
1 - 3 oz box- cherry jello
1 - 20 oz crushed pineapple - drained well
chopped pecans or walnuts ~ optional - i didn't use this time.
1 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 - 7 oz marshmallow cream
1 c whipping cream, whipped

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium saucepan, add the water and cranberries, cook until cranberries are tender and are starting to pop.
  • 2. Add the jello & sugar, stir well to combine ** Note: As long as you use 6 ounces of jello, you can use all cherry or all orange. I like to combine the two. Sometimes use all cherry. Cool.
  • 3. Once cranberry mixture is cool, fold in the pineapple and nuts if using.
  • 4. Pour evenly into a 9 x 13 dish. Refrigerate until set.
  • 5. Once jello is set, in a medium mixing bowl whip the whipping cream until peaks form.
  • 6. In another medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and marshmallow cream together, until smooth. Now, mix in the whipped cream and spread over the top of jello.
  • 7. This can be served as a salad with your meal on a bed of lettuce or can be served as an after dinner dessert.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I loved this salad. The dressing is light and tangy, and the cranberries add a nice pop of sweetness.

I added a bit of crumbled goat cheese to my salad and it was amazing! The tanginess of the cheese really complemented the sweetness of the cranberries.
