Recipe Notes

***Emmes or Hain SuperFruits are kosher brands of jello that can be purchased at a health food store.

Use the drained pineapple juice -- just combine it with the water to make up the 1 1/2 times the amount called for.  Don't just add it in addition.

PS -- I've found out that Cranberry Salad really needs to be made the night before in order to give it time to set well.
