Steps:

Wash and pick through cranberries.
Core and quarter apples.
Seed and quarter orange.
Grind in food processor starting with the orange, and then add apples and cranberries. You can do in batches so you don't over process it.
We used a hand crank grinder to make this when I was a child.
Add sugar (in the 50's we used 2 cups of sugar, so taste after a couple hours and adjust per your personal preferences).
Let marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Grandma's Cranberry Salad image

Provided by Leah Stacey

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small package of cherry Jell-O (3oz box)
1 c hot water
1 c sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 c drained crushed pineapple (8oz can) (juice reserved)
1 c pineapple juice (use the reserved juice and add water to make 1 cup)
1 c ground cranberries
1 orange (ground)
1/2 c pecans, chopped

Steps:

1. Boil the cup of water. Dissolve the Jell-o in the hot water in an 8-inch square pan mix well. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and pineapple juice. Stir to dissolve well. Note: You can substitute the 8x8 dish and use a 9x13 dish, it seems to gel up a bit better that way.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix. Chill overnight.
3. Grandma's Notes: Chop up the pecans first before getting the blender wet. Or you could just buy pre-chopped pecans and save a step. Use the blender or food processor to chop up cranberries, then orange, seeded, and partially peeled. The chopped peel gives it that special zing!
