Cran-Cherry Christmas Salad

12/13/2016

      At Thanksgiving, one of my sons told me that he only liked the jellied cranberry sauce that comes out in the shape of the can and you slice it and serve it.  So, I served a couple of cans of it at our feast, but apparently only 1 or 2 other people liked it and I ended up with more than a full can left over.  Well, you know me, I can't stand to let things go to waste.  I brainstormed and this very Christmas-like Salad is what I came up with.  
        I tried to video myself making it, Ha Ha! That didn't work out very well, so you are going to have to put up with my pictures and directions.  But, here is the printable recipe:
Cran-Cherry Christmas Salad
       This recipe makes a lot of salad! Maddy thought it sounded gross when I described my idea to her. She doesn't really like cranberry sauce at all. But after I made it, she was eating it by the bowlful.  The Cherry Jello and the cherry pie filling help the cranberry taste to be just a tart hint as you eat it, then every so often you get a nice cherry surprise or a mandarin orange burst of flavor.  Now that I have made it, I can see that it might also be good with some tiny apple chunks or marshmallows in it.  If you do any experimenting with good results, let me know.

Here is the giant bowlful that this recipe makes. This is definitely a recipe for a crowd.
         Another perk is that it looks so pretty in a crystal dish.

    I hope you enjoy it!

I love this table runner. It would work at Christmas or anytime.
      I was just thinking that I could picture this salad as a trifle, layered with angel food cake! Hmm...

This reminds me of the jello salads my grandmother would make, but probably ten times better tasting. I'm a sucker for cranberry and it's so sad to me that people only seem to eat it during the holidays! Thanks so much for posting this at the fandayfriday link party! #fdflinkparty
