This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This recipe is better than using canned cranberries as it is more crunchy and tart. I use one fresh orange instead of the pineapple at times. I love food contrast so I use heavy whipping cream instead of mayo, but I like this as a dessert as a tart contrast to a turkey meal at the holidays. [edited for clarity]

I have tried several of these cranberry recipes. This one is the best by far. It is not only easy it is not to sweet or sour. I replaced the walnuts with pecans because I like them more. I have used this for years at all types of occasions. It is a hit every time. I think the strawberry works better than the ones for cherry jello. You can miss with this one and is easy to change to add other taste you might enjoy.

I've made this recipe for several years using lemon jello and pecans. My family loves it with dinner or as desert

I was looking for a recipe that seemed similar to the one Mom used to make. This looked close. I made it using raspberry Jello and pecans instead of walnuts.I filled the center of the mold with real mayonnaise. I just served it for our Christmas eve Christmas dinner. I'm known in the family for my cooking but this dish got some of the best rave reviews I've ever received. No hesitation about recommending this recipe!

I fixed this recipe last year (2006) and my 6 ans 8 year old granddaughters loved it. While they were here I fixed it two or three times. I also used sugar free Jello and it turned out great. I would rate it a 5+ , we all loved it.
