I can remember going to my great aunt’s house one year for Thanksgiving.
She always made a wonderful spread…except for the cranberry salad. This stuff had such a rough texture! There were carrots, nuts, cranberries, orange peels, and God only knows what else in that monstrosity. I always had to take a little bit of everything per my mother’s rules. I hid the cranberry salad under my turkey. Speed ahead about 20 years later and I came across a similar recipe only there was cream cheese and other fruits in the mix. Yum!
This is the perfect Cranberry Congealed Salad for your Thanksgiving meal. For years my in-laws have expected me to produce a good recipe and since this has all the good stuff squished together, it is my standby and go back to recipe.
A great compliment to your chicken or turkey dishes. I can’t believe how much I enjoy this salad and it is a snap to make. You’ll want to make this yummy dessert year after year for the holidays 🙂

Quick Tip: Although the recipe calls for pecans, walnuts make a great nut to add to this salad, too.
