Saw this in a Taste of Home flyer which we had tonight. I omitted the pecans and celery due to personal taste. It was a great fruit salad and super easy! Thanks, Chris70 in Texas!

When we were kids this was a family recipe both my both my husband and I enjoyed, and I made it again last night for Thanksgiving. The only thing we do differently is leave out the celery (personal preference). I use the blender to chop up the cranberries, chopping a cup at a time and it makes short work out of what could be a messy job! Thanks for posting an old favorite.
