Each one of them "must have" certain things on the table, and I guess I'd be cursed for life if I, God Forbid, picked something up at, say, Boston Market (which we do not have here in the boonies). Clay's "must have" is a Jello Salad, but why it's called a salad has always escaped me. Maybe because it has celery in it. Here's the easy recipe:<br />1 large box orange Jello<br />1 can whole Ocean Spray cranberries<br />1/2 c. chopped walnuts <br />1/2 c. chopped celery<br />Dissolve Jello in 2 c. boiling water, add cranberries instead of cold water. Stir, add nuts and celery. Pour into Jello mold and put in refrigerator until set.<br /><br />Apparently this is something his stepmother used to make, and although he didn't really like her that much, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it. But it is a pleasant change from ordinary cranberry sauce, and it'll be on the table again this year. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all the JP's and their families!
