Granny’s Cranberry Jello Salad is the only cranberry salad I will eat! It’s creamy, smooth, so tasty and super easy to put together!
I got this recipe from my sister’s mother-in-law and it has quickly become a staple on our Thanksgiving table.
Why is it things always taste better when someone else makes them? The first time I tried to make this – well let’s just say it tasted alright but wasn’t pretty to look at! I was so excited too, I had made my first Jello salad! Yep you read that right this is the first Jello salad I ever made – and to be honest the only one. I’m a little bit of a Jello purist, I am normally not a fan of things floating around in my Jello!
But this changed my mind! Remember to let your Jello set up a bit before adding the other ingredients or the cranberries sink to the bottom and the nuts float to the top, and well it’s just not the same!

I know cranberry salad is historically a Thanksgiving tradition but this is so easy and good, it could be used for any meal, a pitch-in favorite or as my son likes, a great afternoon snack!
