This recipe for Cranberry Fruit Gelatin Salad was new to our Thanksgiving table this year and a hit all around. The classic recipe comes from my father-in-law, Bob.
Cranberry Fruit Gelatin Salad is an old-fashioned jello salad recipe. The heart of the recipe is a can of cranberry sauce, and in addition this salad has a finely chopped apple, a finely chopped orange, and a can of pineapple, giving it a variety of textures and flavors.
Traditionally prepared in a round jello mold, it can also be prepared in any other dish or dishes to make it more quick and easy.
