Grandma Phyllis' Holiday Cranberry Salad

My grandma made this cranberry dish for every holiday dinner and it's one of my fondest memories. It has just enough sweet to balance out the tartness of the cranberries. It's a great dish if you're looking for a new way to include cranberries in your Thanksgiving meal. (She sometimes put in walnuts or pecans for a little extra crunch.) Cooking time is for the jello to set up in the refrigerator. Show more
