Notes: This is a recipe of my Great Grandma Evyline Ferguson. This is one of those dishes that I never really appreciated until I was older. Maybe because the recipe varied so much depending on who made it. My Great Grandma lived with 2 of her daughters, and I could always tell who made it. Great Grandma kept it sweet with only fruit. My Great Aunts always seemed to add grated celery and carrots... This recipe has been around forever. My copy of this recipe says that everything has to be grated. Have you ever tried to grate a cranberry with no food processor? Me either, and I don't want to. Also, at the end it says to serve plain, or with salad dressing. Ummmm, no. Mayo on my jello? Pass. This is one of many recipes that my Great Grandma made that only ever got written down because someone was there watching her do everything. I miss her still... Enjoy! Don't be afraid of the cranberry!
