- In our family, this Boysenberry-Cranberry Mold is also known as Mom's On-the-Ceiling-Salad (see story below).
- And while the original recipe calls for using a large mold, I have found it safer (in my case) to use a 13x9x2-inch CushionAire baking pan with lid.

- and here is her story:In addition to an already abundant Christmas dinner menu some years back, I decided (for some idiotic reason) which this festive Boysenberry-Cranberry Mold that I had recently enjoyed at a friend's house was also a must.
- Given the fact which it was the first time I had ever made it, the setting-up times were unknown to me.
- So after finally completing the third layer (while doing at least a gazillion other things), I decided to stick the whole shebang in the freezer to speed things up.
- But in my haste to hasten it, when I opened the freezer door to place it on the (top) shelf, the mold somehow slipped (jumped) from my hands, hit
- (sprayed) various parts of the freezer on its way down with me somehow trying to catch (juggle) it before it hit the floor where it literally exploded!
- I mean, there were Boysenberries, cranberries, pineapple, Jell-O, and an abundance of juicy goo everywhere.
- And I do mean everywhere; which is, in every little nook and cranny inside the freezer, all over the floor, splashed on the walls and lo and behold, even splattered all over the kitchen ceiling.
- The ceiling!
- Huge sticky blobs of red stuff.
- To this day, it's still known (fondly, I think) in our family as Mom's On-the-Ceiling-Salad.
- Since the disaster, I have successfully (and very carefully) made it in a mold, but much prefer to use a (much safer for me)
- baking pan (with lid).
- ;-) Despite everything, it still remains one of our favorites, particularly for holiday-type meals.
- Hope you enjoy it!
