MARY RUTH'S CRANBERRY SALAD 
1 qt. cranberries
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tbsp. granulated gelatin
1/2 c. orange juice
1 c. celery, chopped finely
1 c. nuts, chopped
1 c. apples, diced and unpeeled

Grind cranberries using fine blade. Add sugar; mix and let stand for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Soften the gelatin in the orange juice for 5 minutes, then stir over hot water until dissolved. Mix gelatin mixture with cranberries, celery, apples, and nuts. (Miniature marshmallows may also be added.) Place ingredients in individual molds or flat dish which has been rinsed in cold water. Chill in refrigerator until set. Unmold (or if in dish, cut into squares) and serve on crisp lettuce leaf, with mayonnaise if desired.

This will keep for several weeks.
