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.

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!
