Started with this basic recipe, added black cherry gelatin (Jello). Added celery, didn't have Granny Smith used Gala apples and used Splenda instead of sugar...turned out terrific. Daughter in law and I absolutely loved it.

Sorry...not crazy about this recipe. Took it to a luncheon and it was not a big hit. Not as much flavor as i would have liked. Maybe I ran the processor too long because the texture wasn't that appealing. Love fresh cranberries but they seemed to overwhelm this dish to me.

I made this recipe exactly as it's written. It tastes good. However, this will serve alot more than 8 people. I put it in a 2 quart pitcher to store and it filled it 3/4 the way!

I make this every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. My family requests that I make enough for them to take home. It is great to eat by itself, with crackers, or cool whip. Sometimes I add pecans or walnuts. Enjoy!

I changed it a little... a bag cranberries, 1 orange cut and seeded but leave the peel on, one apple, whatever kind, can of drained pinapples, splash lemon juice, sugar to taste. Put it all in the food processor and you're done. A hit, even my 9 month nephew loved the sweet and sour taste. The kids ate it like applesauce.

Made some mods - used only 1 apple, added some chopped celery and walnuts. I also dissolved 1 pkg cherry jello in 1 c of the drained juice. Wanted to add some more red color.

This has been a hit with my family since my mom made it for us back in the 80's! We only use 1 apple and I ditched the mandarin's, and added pomegranate seeds but that's what's so great about this you can be flexible we tried adding 3/4 cup coconut flakes. It's refreshing, and if you cut down on the sugar or add a sugar substitute it's healthy and it's super easy and fun for the kids and tastes better the next day. It's a staple at our holiday table.

This was just great! I will reduce the sugar a little bit next time. Everyone loved it as is, including my boyfriend who loves the canned cranberry sauce. Personally I liked the very orangy taste, and you can still taste the cranberry. Update: When I first made this recipe it was different. There were no apples, pineapple or mandarin oranges. Maybe it was a different recipe. Anyway, the recipe I have been using it one package cranberries and one whole navel orange ground in a food processor adding sugar to taste. Remember that is will get sweeter the longer it sits so be conservative as first. I also sometimes add freshly ground ginger to taste.
