After seeing this gelatin salad in a flier, I decided to make it lighter. I like to serve it as a fruit salad, but others may like it for a sweet treat. –Eva DeWolf of Erwin, Tennessee

I forgot to add that we use graham cracker crumnbs instead of pretzels.
It's a fantastic recipe and we have made it several times. Great for get togethers.

I've always made one like this, but using frozen strawberries and strawberry jello....any combination would work. Sounds good with the oranges, too.

It was a huge hit and so easy to make. I made it for a Christmas social with 13 friends. and of course the recipe just needs to be shared.

Can this be made with the cranberry jelly instead of the whole cranberries?

Another comment I forgot to include, I have to admit that this combo of oranges and cranberries are not a favorite of mine. Not a huge cranberry lover but it looked Christmasy and I loved it! I would agree with another comment..... I think of it as a salad, but it could be a dessert, it's that good, and it's very refreshing. It's Christmas, forget the calories for a little while!
The various jello flavors and fruits are endless in this recipe. I decided to try this new combo and took it to my monthly extension club meeting, our Christmas dinner, today. WoW! It is pretty for Christmas and everyone loved it. Luckily I had enough left over for our dinner tonight. Hard to quit eating this yummy thing.

I find the sugar substitute too sweet. How much regular sugar would I use?

Try it with Raspberry jello and frozen raspberries! It is wonderful too! This is just a very versital recipe! You can almost make it with any fruit and jello you have on hand. I do like the low fat version too!
