I hate the term 'molded salad' - it sounds like something green & fuzzy. This is my mother's Jello salad recipe. Most people I know will turn up their nose when I say Jello salad but there are never leftovers. Hmmmm...... I'm not positive on the exact ounces - small boxs of jello, big can of cranberry & small can of pineapple. This multiplies easily & can be made several days ahead & kept refrigerated.

SERVES 8 -10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 (4 ounce) boxes red Jell-O, sugar free is great for this (mom prefers raspberry, I prefer cherry)
2 cups boiling water
1 (15 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1 cup cold water

dressing

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

1
Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Add cranberry & mix well.
2
Refrigerate until almost solidly jelled. Add undrained pineapple & 1 cup cold water. Pour into a large pan or mold & refrigerate until set.
3
Serve with dressing.

I love 'jello' & when I can pair that with cranberry, well . . . OUTSTANDING! My mom used to make something like this, but never used the cranberry sauce (something I like)! I made this exactly as written & really enjoyed it, BUT another time I might just substitute cold cranberry juice for the 1 cup of cold water ~ We'll see! However that works out, this is certainly a keeper of a recipe! Thank you so much for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Ramadan Recipe Tag 2009]

Oh my! what a great salad. And, whatever you do, you must try the dressing with it. This is a perfect blend of cranberries, pineapple and the sweet jello. Add the dressing and it's fit for any occasion. Definitely a keeper. Thanks, Elmo, for posting.
