Grandma’s Cranberry Salad
This Grandma’s Cranberry Salad is a beloved holiday tradition that’s been passed down for generations. It’s not the typical canned cranberry jelly — this version is fresh, fruity, and full of festive flavor! Made the night before, it’s one less thing to prepare on the big day. Tangy cranberries, juicy pineapple, and a hint of orange come together in a sweet, jiggly salad that’s both refreshing and nostalgic.
