Cranberry Salad

This Cranberry Salad is a must for holiday dinners! It is packed with fresh cranberries, oranges, apples, pomegranate and pineapple.  It goes perfectly with turkey or ham and is a delightful side to add to your holiday spread. 

Cranberry Salad is one of my favorites for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.  I have made my mother in law’s cranberry fluff a time or two and I always love it.  This year I decided to use my mom’s recipe.  When I called for the ingredients, she told me the recipe was actually from my great- aunt Zoe, which made me want to make it even more.

Aunt Zoe was such a character! She was my grandpa’s sister, a painter and just all around fun lady.  She always made me laugh and feel right at home when I came to visit.  She was a gem.

Of course I took the recipe and changed it up a bit, partially because I’m terrible at following directions.  How’s that for a recipe blogger?  I took recipe notes from my mom and I added in pomegranate arils and used raspberry jello in place of cherry.  The outcome was delicious and will definitely be a new favorite at our holiday dinners.

Holiday dinners require LOTS of chopping, slicing and dicing.

Lucky for me WÜSTHOF was kind enough to send along a few of their fabulous knives to help me and my Virtual Potluck friends out for the holidays.

This was the first time I successfully segmented an orange and I know it was this fabulous WÜSTHOF serrated knife that did the trick!
