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
