Cranberry-Eggnog Gelatin Salad

Refreshing and bursting with flavor, this festive jello salad is a great choice for a holiday potluck or make ahead Thanksgiving side. The sweet pineapple-eggnog layer contrasts nicely with the cool and tangy gelatin on top. Since it has to chill overnight, it’s a good pick for those dishes you want to prepare a day ahead. —Nancy Foust, Stoneboro, Pennsylvania

    16 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) raspberry gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 medium navel orange, peeled and chopped

    This isn't a review as I haven't made yet but sounds yummy. I know this isn't Thanksgiving-ish, but I'm thinking of doing it with dark cherry jello and canned dark cherries. Leaving the pineapple out of the eggnog. Will let you know.

    Really like this refreshing jello salad. The eggnog is not overpowering, just adds creamy texture and lightly spiced. As a jello, easy and looks great for the holiday.
