Ingredients

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup diced, unpeeled apples
1 cup grape halves
1 cup orange sections
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Chantilly Dressing:
4 tablespoons whipped cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons powdered sugar


Directions

Wash cranberries and rub off stems. Chop coarsely (easiest in a food processor; they bounce in a blender). Add sugar and let drain overnight in the refrigerator by setting berries and sugar in a fine sieve over a pan.

Combine sweetened cranberries next day with apples, grapes, oranges and nuts. Toss lightly. Top with a ribbon of Chantilly Dressing, made by mixing the whipped cream with mayo and powdered sugar. (Use any drained cranberry juices by adding to orange juice as a morning beverage.) Makes 5 1/2 cups, or 10 servings. Prep time: 30 minutes.
