Instructions
In a large heatproof mixing bowl, add the cherry-flavored gelatin mix.
Carefully pour 2 cups of boiling water into the bowl and stir for 2-3 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add 1.5 cups of cold water and 0.5 cups of cranberry juice to the bowl, stirring to combine.
Using a fork or whisk, break up the canned cranberry sauce into smaller pieces and gently fold it into the gelatin mixture until evenly distributed.
If desired, stir in 0.5 cups of chopped fresh cherries or maraschino cherries for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the mixture into a decorative serving dish, individual cups, or a gelatin mold.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or until the gelatin is fully set.
Before serving, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream on top, if desired.
