THE BEST Cranberry Salad Recipe & It's Easy!! 
We are cranberry lovers at our house. We wait anxiously for them to show up in the supermarket so we can have this fresh salad. It is a real treat all winter, keeps well, is a snap to make, and is healthy for you. For the technical vegetarians, it is macrobiotic which means uncooked to us average folk.
The Best Cranberry Salad!!
One package of fresh cranberries (10 -12 oz)
One fresh orange, cut in chunks, leave peel on.
One half tart apple, cored, cut in chunks, leave peel on
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar ( I use 1/3 c we like it tart)
Put all these ingredients in the Cuisinart or blender and pulse-chop till blended into small pieces but not liquified.
Put into bowl and refrigerate for a day for flavors to blend. This will keep up to a week but it probably won't last that long!
Cranberries are loaded with Vitamin C (more than oranges) and is full of antioxidants. They also have an interesting history. Did you know that the largest cranberry producing state is Wisconsin?? 
These facts came from Wikipedia, if you would like more information on the lowly cranberry.
"Since the early 21st century, there has been a rapidly growing recognition of cranberries for their consumer product popularity, nutrient content and antioxidant qualities, giving them commercial status as a novel "superfruit"."
