The combination of tart cranberries and sweet oranges makes this dish irresistibly delicious.
Layered Cranberry Lime Jello
Impress your guests with this beautiful layered jello dessert. Prepare lime-flavored gelatin according to package instructions but use ginger ale instead of cold water for added fizz.
