Notes: I use cranberry jello when I make this for Christmas. I have also used two 8 oz. pkgs. of cream cheese instead of sour cream. Cream cheese needs to be soft and I use my mixer to whip the two packages together. I have also used serving size molds. If you decide to use individual molds, spray the molds with pam. Fill molds half full with mixture and follow same steps as the original recipe. Being at the Emerald Isle over Thanksgiving we have changed many recipes, if the recipe had an ingredient we did not have we just used something else, and that is how the cranberry salad came about. We were going to make Jack's strawberry salad, but we forgot to buy the strawberries and we had cranberries. We used the celery because someone said, "I think I had celery once in a cranberry salad". I knew Jim Long's mother used oranges, apples, and nuts.
Johnsie, copied all the igredients on a recipe card found in a drawer where we were staying. I love the recipe card because of all the stains on the card from years of use.
