Cranberry Salad

Here's what you need:

• 1/2 bag of fresh cranberries, approx. 6 oz.
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• zest from one orange
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
• 1 small box of strawberry Jell-O

Add your water, sugar and cranberries to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over med/high heat, stirring frequently. Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat down to medium/low and simmer for 15 minutes. The water will evaporate out and the mixture will become thick, almost like a jam consistency. 

After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and add all of the other ingredients. Stir well to combine and dissolve the Jell-O crystals. 

Pour into a shallow bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight to allow time to set. Serve alongside your turkey dinner, or as a dessert with a dollop of whipped topping. It's delicious either way! Enjoy!
