    Amish Cranberry Salad

    Published: Nov 14, 2018 · Updated: May 1, 2022 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    By Kevin Williams

    The Amish are no different than anyone else when it comes to seasonal food traditions.  Like most people, cranberries show up on Amish tables about once a year: Thanksgiving.

    This is a popular cranberry salad that the Amish Cook included in her column and it earned rave reviews from recipe tester Barbara.

    Here is what Barbara had to say:

    "Oh my heavens this is a fabulous cranberry salad. Wow, this is an an amazing recipe, not too sweet, not too tart.  Mr had for his dessert after supper tonight. "   

    Now, THAT is an endorsement.  Let's dig a little deeper into her notes:  Jello packages should be the 3 ounce size.  Barbara could not find black raspberry jello so she got regular raspberry along with strawberry.  She says to make the jello, both boxes, with just 2 cups of boiling water.  She also advises that after mixing, add 2 cups cold water or 2 cups ice cubes to set the Jello faster.

    Also, remember to drain the crushed pineapple before mixing with the orange, apple, and cranberries that have been ground up.

    Rounding up the fruit....

    Assembling the salad....
