I made this for Thanksgiving and it disappeared very quickly. Has a very good taste but would not set for me. Next time I will put just a little less liquid to see if that does it. I definitely will be making it again Christmas!

I loved this jello - but I love cranberry sauce to. Perfection!

After reading Recipe Nut's dilema, here's a tip that might help her to thickened up the above Jell-O recipe. To 1/4c. cold water, dissolve one envelope of Knox un- flavored Gelatin. Add this, after the heated Cherry Gelatin mixture has been added to the cranberry mixture, and before adding the chopped pecans. I myself haven't made this gelatin salad yet, but when I do, I will give Evangelia my review.
