Mix 3/4 cup sugar with 1 can crushed cranberries (1 bag fresh cranberries may be used). Let stand for 1 hour or until most of the sugar is dissolved. Then add 2 ground apples and 2 cut up oranges, 1 small package raspberry gelatin dissolved in 1 cup hot water and 1/2 cup cold water. Put in bowl and chill until jelled. Marshmallows and nuts may be added to the salad to add flavor. Serves 12.

I won the District 4-H Food Show and went to state with this recipe. I make this salad every year for Christmas. My family loves it.
