Wanted to have a cranberry dish but not the typical cranberry side. Everyone from the picky adults to the picky kids ate this and asked for more. We had it with breakfast the following morning and it was just as delicious. The fruit did not turn brown as I expected a day later. Will continue to make this for our holiday meals.
Make this every holiday. People love the mix of fruit and getting away from the traditional fruit.
this salad is very pleasing to the eye, but the cooked cranberries give it an overall mushy taste. I will not make again.
Kathleen, if you make all of those changes, then it is not the same recipe. It is a different recipe.
You can make this recipe easier by not cooking the cranberries. Just coarsely chop the raw cranberries, add about 1/2 cup turbo ground sugar, grated orange peel , and juice from 1/2 orange. Mix it in with the fruit.
Very tasty and a snap to make.

A tasty side for a holiday potluck! I would make this again.
Made this for a Christmas party this week...there was nothing left in the bowl!! I used fresh fruit and made it exactly from the recipe! I handed out lots of copies of the recipe and will be making it again for us!
