Feedback of Cranberry Jell-O Salad with Mandarin Oranges Recipes
Delicious! I added celery chopped small & a little less sugar. I’ve made this over the years & prefer it over gravy with my turkey.
We all really enjoyed this. I made it exactly as written for the first time. Next time, I will decrease the sugar by half. I used raspberry jello.
Okay I did a few things differently,1. Raspberry gelatin.2. Toasted my pecans.3. Added the sugar to the cranberries in food processor.4. No pineapple. 2 cans of mandarin oranges.5. Did cranberries and sugar before adding the oranges and pecans so they would be a bit chunkier.
I have made this twice for my sister at Thanksgiving. It turns out great. It makes a lot for just a few people. The recipe could be halved for just a few people. I bring home the left overs to eat myself. What a treat! I should make this more often.
I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it so much they asked me to make it again for Christmas! I could not find Cranberry Jello in the stores so I ordered it online. Even people who do not like Cranberry Sauce liked it!
Followed the directions exactly but did not use cranberries and used cherry jello instead. Turned out great!
I messed up and used a total of 4 cups water (2 hot/2 cold) because I followed the recipe on the jello boxes. The recipe only calls for 1 hot and 1 cold even though you used 2 boxes of jello. It was still very tasty, just not firm. Can't wait to make this correctly!!! YUM!
Too much water
I loved the taste. However, it did not make a jello mold as I thought it would. I made it the day before Thanksgiving, followed the instructions and put it in a mold, but it never firmed up like a jello mold. So, I spooned it into a dish and we ate it like a cranberry relish. Any thoughts as to why?
