Cranberry Gelatin Salad

I don’t remember where I first had this salad.  I do know that I love it and no one else in the family will eat it so I don’t make it very often.  This year, Thanksgiving is at my Mom’s and I am taking my Mom’s Chocolate cream pie (found here:  https://www.instructables.com/id/Moms-Chocolate-Cream-Pie/) and this salad.  I know my mom, my Aunt and my sister will love it.  So here is the recipe.
