Procedure:

Cranberry ring:  

1. Heat the orange juice and water until boiling.
2. Add Jell-O & salt and chill till partially set.
3. When partially set, add the whole berry cranberry sauce and fold in gently.
4. Add nuts (optional).
5. Spoon into an attractive ring mold and chill till set.

1. If using mayonnaise, ginger & salt - combine first.
2. Combine all the above, stirring gently.
3. Chill until ready to serve.

1. Use a serving plate large enough to hold the cranberry molded salad and optional garnish surrounding it.
2. Run the plate under cold water, shake off the excess water, and dry the BOTTOM of the plate. Keeping the surface of the plate slippery will allow you to reposition the mold if it unfolds off center.
3. Unmold the cranberry salad and center it on the plate.
4. Return it to the refrigerator to allow the moisture on the plate to evaporate and the salad “reset” on the serving plate.
5. When ready for final serving, spoon the chicken salad into the ring.
Enjoy!
