Best Cranberry Mousse Jello Mold Salad Recipe By Angie Cookeatshare Recipes

MOM'S THANKSGIVING CRANBERRY JELLO MOLD

Mom's Thanksgiving Cranberry Jello Mold image

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.

This is a delicious and pretty salad for the holidays, but it's so good that I serve it at other times, too. I got the recipe from a neighbor who had served it with a traditional turkey dinner. -Helen Clement, Hemet, California
