Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 1 granny smith apple
- 1 cup seedless red grapes
- 0.5 cup pecans, chopped
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the cranberries and raspberries under cold water and set them aside to dry.
In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice and sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Core and dice the granny smith apple into small bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Halve the seedless red grapes if they are large.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, raspberries, diced apple, and halved grapes.
Pour the cooled orange juice and sugar mixture over the fruit and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the salad for a delightful crunch.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled.
