MOM'S THANKSGIVING CRANBERRY JELLO MOLD
A MUST for us! A neighbor in Omaha had given this to my Mom in the early'60's and she has made it every Thanksgiving since. Now I make the holiday, so I make the mold! It's very easy. Keep in mind that this has walnuts just in case you have guests who are allergic to nuts. Enjoy! *You can make this 2 days before serving so I will make it on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and keep it in the mold in the refrigerator and just unmold it before serving.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, dissolve the packages of jello in the hot water.
- Add the cold water and the cranberry sauce. Blend well and chill.
- Before mixture sets, add apples, celery and nuts and mix well.
- Pour into a jello 3 cup mold sprayed lightly with a vegetable oil.
- Chill until it sets and invert on a plate when ready to serve. You can garnish with parsley sprigs.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries are the best choice for this recipe, as they have a more intense flavor than frozen cranberries. However, if you only have frozen cranberries, you can thaw them and use them instead. If needed, rinse the frozen cranberries and drain before using.
- Cook the cranberries properly: The cranberries should be cooked until they are soft and have burst. This will help to release their flavor. If you cook the cranberries for too long, they will become mushy.
- Use a good quality gelatin: The gelatin is what will give the mold its structure. Be sure to use a good quality gelatin, such as Knox or Jell-O. If you use a low-quality gelatin, the mold may not set properly.
- Chill the mold properly: The mold should be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will help the gelatin to set properly and the mold to hold its shape.
- Serve the mold with your favorite toppings: The cranberry gelatin mold can be served with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, fruit, or nuts. You can also drizzle it with a simple syrup or glaze.
