Easy Cranberries Everyone Will Love

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Growing up, when we had cranberries at the dinner table, they were jellied from a can. Even with a large family – there were leftovers. I can’t remember when or where I found this recipe, but it has been my go-to my entire adult life: My family members vie for the leftovers, if there are any.  This recipe only takes five minutes from start to finish – and there is no cooking. The best part is that the dish continues to deepen its cranberry color as the days go by – which is why I try to make it at least one day ahead of serving.

Instructions:

 
  • Wash fruit, then put entire bag of cranberries, half an orange, and apple chunks into a food processor.
