Personal Notes:
In my family, we use this in place of the canned cranberry relish! This is a "throwback" recipe from long ago when gelatin salads were popular. I always turned up my nose at gelatin salads, they seemed really gross to me! But I love the creamy goodness of this recipe. It came from my Mother-in-Law who would never share the recipe as she wanted it to be her special dish that she brought to holiday dinners. One year she broke her wrist and could not make it so I made it while she sat and told me the ingredients and made me promise not to write anything down. I never did. When she passed away, she left this recipe for me so we could continue the tradition at family holiday meals. So try it and you may be convinced that those 1950's gelatin recipes deserve a place at the table. We serve it as a side dish to the main course and my husband loves it as dessert too!
