Cranberry Jello Salad

by Judy

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Do you have a few side dishes that grace your Thanksgiving table every year just because it’s tradition? My family sure does, and this Cranberry Jello Salad is one of them.

Cranberry Jello Salad

My kids (who are now grown adults) call this “Nana’s Cranberry Jello Mold” because it comes from their grandmother and she always made it in a bundt cake pan.  You could bet your life that not a Thanksgiving would go by that this wasn’t on the table at her house. For all the years I was married and had Thanksgiving dinner there this cranberry jello salad has been on the menu. Even if I try to step out of the box and make some other cranberry side dish recipe, we’d still have this one as well.
