Please forgive the format from my tablet! I tried to make corrections. I hope you can read this and will try the recipe. Mom always made this for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Vistors would look at the salad and ask what it was but then after finally trying it would ask for the recipe. Mom would provide a container to take some home with the recipe included.

I'm sorry. I was being rude. What with a few other threads about this and - well, it doesn't matter because I was being rude.

I didn't read it because it was in all caps, but I hope people who like this sort of thing are pleased.

I am a dummy with computers and tablets and do not know how to post pictures. Left over salad was put in a small pyrex bowl. I will be good and let DH enjoy. I love this with dressing and a slice of turkey but DH will just eat this like a bowl of ice cream!

Chickenbutt: No...... you are never rude! I laugh and enjoy your post! I did not notice all the caps.... I was worried about my spelling and trying not omit any ingredients. Chickenbutt: Please forgive me. I always read your replies and appreciate you tips and suggestions. I just wanted to share a recipe .

I would eat the whole bowl if I could. I love these jello salads--congealed--whatever you call them. I posted on the other "congealed" post. Last weekend, I got take out supper from a cafeteria, and on their menu is "lime congealed salad." I most certainly got that.

Sabatini2: Thank you for taking the time to correct my mess! You are very helpful. I just noticed another error I made. Jello: I used the ( 6 oz) box. I will try to remember not to post recipes. I appreciate the great recipes, tips and suggestions I have received from this wonderful group.

No problem, Southern Bee! I fixed it, so all is well. Let me know if you want me to change anything else.

And please DON'T STOP posting recipes! I've never had a congealed salad, but yours actually makes me want to try it! I love the idea of all the fresh cranberries, and having the marshmallows ground along w/ them sounds good too, as I'm not a fan of 'whole' ones in things.

Thanks again for the recipe, & happy posting!

I like this sort of thing and I am most pleased.

Thanks, Southern Bee, for sharing your mom's recipe. It sounds delicious!

News flash: When you mix up jello and put it in the refrigerator, it congeals! Hence, the name "congealed salad". We like congealed salads at our house, and that is what we call them. No apologies. Congealed cranberry jello with pineapple, mandarin oranges, and nuts topped with a layer of softened cream cheese and Hellman's mayo is a holiday staple with turkey or ham. Really, really good!

I made these type of salads for years--holidays and special dinner parties/buffets, etc. We referred to them as "Jello" salads or "gelatin" salads. No longer make them as newer generation of guests do not like them.
