While in Wyoming this past weekend, I had the pleasure of exploring the wide-world of jello salad. Prior to this trip, the most exotic Jello salad I had ever tasted was the school lunch standby of mint jello with shredded carrots. Oh, how narrow my jello world view was. The salads were all splendidly colorful and creative, and there was 1 or 2 that I would say were “keepers”.

The best one (not picture here) was a variation on cranberry sauce. It was really very tasty - and had more of a cranberry flavor than a jello flavor. Here is a quick picture of 2 of the 6 jello salads present at one of our meals. This is probably not the exact recipe - but it does sound good like a good cranberry variation.

Mary also tracked down this page showing a “Cracked Glass” jello dessert. Pretty!
