Illustrated interpretation from the family cookbook.
Let’s make it
Stir the gelatin into the boiling water until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cold water.
Refrigerate until syrupy and slightly thickened, about 30–60 minutes. Check occasionally; do not let it set firm.
Loosen the cranberry sauce with a fork. Stir it into the thickened gelatin with the celery and walnuts. Gently fold in the sour cream until evenly blended.
Spoon into a 1½–2-quart serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set. Serve chilled from the bowl.
