My husband's family has been using this traditional and delicious salad for holiday dinners for five generations. The women used to grind the cranberries and the orange in a food grinder, which was a messy job! Thank goodness for food processors! It can be made up to three days before serving, which is always a help when we are cooking for those holiday meals. Keep covered in refrigerator. Cook time is for chilling.

It isn't Thanksgiving without this salad! Since Janice Mitchell is my Mother I asked her to post this recipe because as she said, my Grandmother used to make it, and I can still see her grinding those cranberries and oranges. She'd get them on her apron and you could just see her try her best not to curse up a storm! It's a great salad, please give it a try! And thanks Mom!Reply
