This is a good solid recipe and makes a nice special occasion presentation when molded in a ring. My substitutions: I could not find cranberry jello so I used Raspberry, subbed cranberry-apple juice for the port, and wild blueberries for the raspberries. I just didn't feel okay about leaving the port in since the jello was going to be consumed by kids. I loved all the fruit in the recipe!11/27/07

My daughter made this recipe for Thanksgiving and it was a real hit with all. It's hard to imagine jello being gourmet, but this was close. She followed the recipe exactly. Good combination of fruits and spices.The wine gave it a rich and tangy flavor.02/24/03
