"This is the original Jell-O Ribbon Salad, as published in the Joys of Jell-O recipe book that my mom has had--probably since the 1950's. The holidays & other special occasions just wouldn't be the same without this dish on the table!"

I was trying to find the recipe I found when I was in high school. It called for 1 box of strawberry Jello, 1 can jelled cranberry sauce. Make 1st part of jello directions until you have jello dissolved. Don't add the rest of the water. While warm, add cranberry sauce and use fork to combine. Set in fridge. When set, add top layer: 1 pkg. cream cheese & 1 tub whipped topping. Beat til smooth. Spread over jello layer. This has been a holiday favorite of my family's ever since I made it that first year. They demand it! I was hoping to find it here so that I could share it with my Pinterest friends. I might try adding the pineapple this year. That sounds good. It is also good with chopped nuts on top

I am 70 and my mom made this when I was growing up. I made it for my children and they love it too. Now for my grandchildren. My oldest son always asks me to make it when going potluck. The best!

I wanted a new Jell-O Salad recipe this year and I was so happy to find this. My mother made it for Christmas years ago but unfortunately I did not have her recipe. It tasted exactly as I remembered it and my grandkids loved it. Thank you.

My absolute favorite jello "salad" -- it's really more of a dessert with its sweet, creamy texture. Even with the extra effort, I make it a few times a year.

I my dear mother-in-law Helen Pankey always put cream cheese on top and over that she sprinkled cheddar cheese. Yes cheddar cheese it is amazing the texture that it brings is amazing you simply must try it I know it sounds gross. But just like the mayonnaise that just works
