Cranberry Raspberry Jello Salad

This is a family tradition during the holidays. Mom usually makes it although all of us kids have made it at least a time or two. We only have it about twice a year but we all look forward to it.  Thanksgiving and Christmas wouldn't be the same without it.  It does take some time with the different layers, so plan ahead.

9x13 glass baking pan


Bottom layer

1 6 oz package raspberry jello
1 1/2 cup boiling water
2 packages (10 ounce) frozen raspberries
1 tsp lemon juice

Dissolve raspberry jello in boiling water, add frozen raspberries and lemon juice. Pour into 9x13 dish.  Chill until firm.

Middle layer

1 quart sour cream

Spread sour cream over bottom layer

Top Layer

1 6 ounce package cherry jello
1 cup boiling water
1 large can (15-18 ounces) crushed pineapple with juice
1 can cranberry sauce

Dissolve cherry jello in boiling water.  Add crushed pineapple with juice and cranberry sauce.  Allow jello mixture to slightly thicken then pour over sour cream layer.  Chill 6 hours before serving

Serves 12
