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'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 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!

Congealed ???

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.
