this is vary good!! i loved it and will be makeing again. its crisp and not all that sweet wich i like. i added some crushed pineapple and some minced apple. when you take this out of a ring-mold its a little trick, 1 with a knife or wet finger seperate the edge of the jeelo from mold. then put in hot water for about 10-15 sec,when the mold can spin feely in side trun onto platter you may have to hit the top of the mold or put in back in the water a 2nd tim, because its a very think! mold but fabulous and really good!!!

I made this once just for something different and it has now become a holiday tradition. I am expected to make it for both Thanksgiving and Christmas it was such a huge hit.

This is one of only a few recipes that I make over and over again. I love it and everyone who I have ever served it to loves it and requests a copy of the recipe. It is so good that we sometimes eat it as a dessert with whipped cream instead of as a side dish with our turkey. Now if only I could find fresh cranberries all year long I wouldn't have to wait for the holidays to enjoy it!

This recipe is good but very tart. It has an excellent fresh, crisp, taste and feel that I liked, but because of the tartness can only be taken in small bites and with other food such as chicken or pork. If I make it again I will double the sugar and see if that helps.

Served this with Christmas dinner and the males loved it with the turkey. Takes the blah out of ordinary cranberries in a can. It was easy to make and for such a simple relish, had a lot of flavor. This will be used again.
