Personal 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.
