When I was little, my Mom used to make Orange Sherbet Jello Salad to go with our Thanksgiving dinner menu. That was one to look forward to! When I went to other people’s houses for turkey day, they usually had some sort of cranberry jello salad. I always wanted my Mom to make that one too. This Cranberry Jello Ring is delicious with added berries, pineapple and a cream cheese layer. It’s everything you want in a good jello side dish salad.
Ingredients needed:
strawberry jello gelatin raspberry jello gelatin boiling water canned whole berry cranberry sauce canned crushed pineapple fresh strawberries fresh raspberries sour cream cream cheese
How to make a Cranberry Jello Ring:
Combine strawberry jello packets with boiling water and stir to dissolve the gelatin. Add cranberry sauce, strawberries and crushed pineapple. Pour into round jello mold or bundt pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, until set. Combine sour cream and cream cheese. Spread that on top of the first jello layer. Chill again. Combine raspberry jello packets with boiling water. Stir in fresh raspberries. Let this mixture sit until it cools off. Then pour over the cream cheese layer. Chill again for 3 to 4 hours.
Once completely chilled, you can turn out the cranberry jello ring onto a serving platter. If you’re using a bundt pan, when you go to unmold the jello, it can be helpful to dip the bottom of the mold into hot water for a minute or so to help loosen it.
Slice and serve!
Cover leftovers and keep them stored in the refrigerator. Leftovers will be great with your turkey, rolls, stuffing and other goodies.
