Combine water, sugar, and cranberries in a saucepan. Bring just to a boil, remove from heat, cover, and let cool for about 5 minutes.

Combine 2 cups boiling water and gelatin. Stir until dissolved, add 2 cups cold water, cranberry mixture, and lemon juice. Chill until partially congealed, (has taken up to 6 hours)

Fold in remaining ingredients and chill until firm.
