There are many cranberry salads that I favor, but I really like this one the best. It has both the delightful taste of cranberries and orange. It is not too tart and has a good texture. The gelatin doesn't make the relish firm, but thickens it slightly.

    Note: I sometimes add fresh orange sections that has been peeled, white removed, and chopped in the blender. This year I used my hand stick blender and crushed some of the cranberries slightly. It worked well if you like a little less bulk in the salad.
