This is either a fantastic dessert or salad. I serve it with roasted turkey at Thanksgiving or anytime. You can use sugar free jello, pudding mix and cool whip. My family can't tell the difference. Thank you Teresa ( a co-worker)

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch, but they will not be as tart or flavorful as fresh cranberries.
- Don't overcook the cranberries. They should be cooked until they are just beginning to burst, about 5 minutes. Overcooked cranberries will be mushy and lose their flavor.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
- Serve the salad with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a creamy, decadent touch to the salad.
- Garnish the salad with fresh cranberries or mint leaves. This will add a festive touch to the salad.
