JERRY LEE'S JELLO/CRANBERRY SALAD

Jerry Lee was a friend of mine when I lived in Sioux City, Iowa. She was married to a really handsome fellow and they had five children. Jerry Lee was attractive; in fact, when I first saw Sarah Palin (VP running mate with John McCain) I was taken with how much Jerry Lee resembled her. Jerry Lee and my friendship ended when I learned that she was having an affair with my husband (my ex-husband)… while I babysat her children!!!! Well anyway, I did get a really great recipe from her that I’ve used every Thanksgiving since!
