Notes
Cranberry Jello Salad can be garnished with fresh mint leaves or whipped cream for an extra touch. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to a week, but best enjoyed within a few days. For a more intense flavor, use homemade cranberry sauce. Add chopped nuts or mini marshmallows for a softer texture.
