Print Recipe

A vibrant and tangy raspberry cranberry jello salad that balances tart cranberries with sweet raspberries, perfect for holidays, potlucks, or a refreshing side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 oz (85 g) Raspberry Jello Mix
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Cranberry Sauce (homemade or canned, whole berry preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Boiling Water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Cold Water
  • 1 cup (150 g) Fresh or Frozen Raspberries (thawed and drained if frozen)
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) Chopped Nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional, toasted lightly)
  • 1 cup (50 g) Mini Marshmallows (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) Sour Cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of boiling water into a large mixing bowl. Add the 3 oz (85 g) raspberry Jello powder and whisk until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. No granules should remain.
  2. Stir in 1 cup (240 ml) of cranberry sauce to the hot Jello mixture. For a smoother texture, mash the cranberries slightly before adding, or leave some chunks for tartness.
  3. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water into the bowl and stir gently. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool slightly to prevent the fresh fruit from getting mushy.
  4. Fold in 1 cup (150 g) fresh or thawed raspberries, 1/2 cup (60 g) chopped nuts, and 1 cup (50 g) mini marshmallows if using. Stir in 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream if desired for a creamy texture. Be gentle to keep raspberries intact.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or serving dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm and jiggly.

Notes

Fully dissolve the Jello in boiling water to avoid gritty texture. Cool the mixture before adding fruit to prevent mushiness. Toast nuts lightly for extra flavor. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Stir gently before serving if separation occurs. Cover tightly to avoid fridge odors.
