RASPBERRY-CRANBERRY SALAD (WITH SOUR CREAM-CREAM CHEESE TOPPING)
This yummy recipe is and has been a staple and favorite dish in our family esp. at Thanksgiving and Christmas for many years. We like the tang of the cranberry softened with the other ingredients. It makes a wonderful side dish and can pass as a dessert, too. It would be good anytime you were serving a turkey, chicken or ham dish.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they should be thawed before using.
- If you don't have any raspberry Jell-O, you can use another flavor of Jell-O, such as strawberry or cherry. Just be sure to use a flavor that will complement the cranberries.
- For a creamier topping, use full-fat cream cheese. You can also use Neufchâtel cheese or low-fat cream cheese, but they will result in a less creamy topping.
- If you want a sweeter topping, add more sugar to taste. You can also use a flavored cream cheese, such as vanilla or honey.
- Chill the salad for at least 4 hours before serving, or overnight for the best flavor.
