Cranberry Salad for Thanksgiving image

Even people who don't like cranberries or the canned cranberry sauce seem to like this recipe. It is easy to make and keeps for weeks after it is made. I sometimes top it with a dollop of whipped cream. Double the recipe for the holidays. It will fill a mold or a trifle bowl and makes a beautiful presentation on the Thanksgiving or Christmas table.
