Cranberry Ambrosia Salad image

My paternal grandmother used to make this for Christmas dinner. I'm not sure how many batches she made, as there were nearly fifty aunts, uncles and cousins in our family. I still make the recipe in memory of her, and it's still as good as I remember.-Janet Hurley, Shell Rock, Iowa

I'm allergic to pineapple, so I substituted mandarin oranges. It was still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really runny. Maybe I didn't drain the pineapple well enough.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
