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.

SERVES 12 -15 , 3 cup mold (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
2 (3 ounce) packages Jello gelatin, black cherry flavor
2 cups water, hot
1 cup water, cold
2 medium red apples, peeled, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
parsley sprig, for garnish (optional)

Directions

1
In a large bowl, dissolve the packages of jello in the hot water.
2
Add the cold water and the cranberry sauce. Blend well and chill.
3
Before mixture sets, add apples, celery and nuts and mix well.
4
Pour into a jello 3 cup mold sprayed lightly with a vegetable oil.
5
Chill until it sets and invert on a plate when ready to serve. You can garnish with parsley sprigs.

This is the only cranberry recipe I use and it's delicious! For a tangy sweet topping try mixing equal parts mayonnaise and whipped cream. It sounds like it'd be gross but it's fantastic. Glad this recipe is here!

I can't believe someone else has my family's favorite jello recipe! We've been making it for decades and Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without it. I use any red jello and usually mix cherry and stawberry and omit the apple. Toast the walnuts in the microwave for a minute or two and the skins won't be bitter. Cool before adding. This is Thanksgiving in one bite and makes a great side dish or dessert. Thanks for submitting it.

I was looking for the Jello salad that my Mother in law would always make for Christmas and this is it. I brought back memories of many good times. Thank you for posting a great recipe.
