Instructions: Wash and sort cranberries; grind coarsely and add the sugar. Mix well and set aside.

Dissolve Jello in the boiling water and let cool.

Add cranberries and sugar mixture, Mandarin oranges, pineapple, celery and walnuts.

Mix well.

Pour into a 2 qt. mold or dish and chill until firmly set. Unmold onto a plate and pipe a design around edges and top with cream cheese if desired.

Notes: Cranberries grind better if they are slightly frozen.

When I first perfected this recipe, Jello did not have the Cranberry flavor. You might want to try the Cranberry flavor instead of the Black Cherry flavor. You could use Strawberry flavor, also.
