Cranberry Orange Congealed Salad
A congealed salad is essentially a Jello or gelatin salad. It is often made with fruit added, such as the common Jello with fruit cocktail.
In decades past, however gelatin mixtures would often contain more. In this particular salad, I have used chopped fresh cranberries with canned Mandarin oranges, walnuts, and just a touch of minced celery for crunch.
