Festive Cranberry Mold

Christmas 1

Mold or mould?

Dated December 1971, this recipe for a festive cranberry mold is of course for a Jello ring. Cranberries, pineapples, walnuts and tokay grapes all combine in lemon gelatin to bring you a fruity side dish or dessert. The tokay grape hails from Slovakia and Hungary and is used in varieties of pinot gris, sauvignon blanc and others. In America, the catawba grape is sometimes called tokay, and is probably what is called for in this dish. Catawba grapes seem to vary from deep purple to violet in color.
