"THERE WAS always a cranberry salad on our holiday table#151;Mother made it with fresh raw cranberries. I was delighted when she would ask me to help grind the cranberries in her old food grinder...I could go on turning its crank forever. How I loved hearing the cranberries pop as they passed through!"

Sticky Gelatin

Gelatin always sticks to the bottom or sides of the bowl when I prepare it. So I put the dry mix in a bowl and add just enough cold water to dampen it. Then I pour in the boiling water and stir. The gelatin doesn't stick and still sets to the right consistency. —Bertha Duncum, Cameron, Texas

Will try this, but I make it simple by using one large pkg of raspberry jello. I heat water in the microwave . I dissolve the jello into the hot water. I keep a can of whole cranberries in the refrigerator and add that to the jello . I use the can to measure cold water and icecubes and let that set up.. Add chopped apples , a small can of crushed pineapple drained, and sometimes chopped celery which makes a nice mixture for a molded salad..
