Helpful hints

• Use regular gelatin, if a higher calorie dish is desired.
• Cranberry sauce does not need to dissolve completely in step #2.
• Whole-berry cranberry sauce works well in this recipe.
• For a variation, substitute canned pineapple, sliced peaches or applesauce for the mandarin oranges.
