Thanksgiving Cranberry Salad

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 package Ocean Spray Cranberries (fresh or frozen)

Bring water and sugar to boil in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add cranberries and bring back to a boil. Simmer 10 minutes or until the cranberries burst.

While the cranberries are simmering, finely chop one rib of celery and one red or green apple. Grate the peel of one tangerine, using the coarser side of the grater. (this will be pretty thick--not like zest). After grating, juice the tangerine and toss the apples and celery in the juice to stop the apples from browning.

Once berries are ready, stir in apples, celery, juice and grated tangerine. Add a couple of handfuls of walnuts and let cool.

Best if made 2 or three days before Thanksgiving. Keeps well in fridge for up to a week.

That looks so pretty! I'd have to leave the walnuts out (allergies), but it sounds delicious.
