Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they will not be as tart and flavorful.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the gelatin mixture.
  • Let the gelatin salad chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will give it time to set properly.
  • Garnish the gelatin salad with additional cranberries, pecans, or whipped cream before serving.
