Maraschino cherries balance the tartness of the cranberries without altering the flavor profile, so you still get the familiar flavor you love to enjoy this time of year. This whole cranberry salad recipe has a lot of flexibility, but make sure it marinates long enough for all the ingredients to meld together naturally.
How to Make It
Bring first 3 ingredients and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 to 25 minutes or until cranberries pop and mixture thickens. Remove from heat, and let stand 15 minutes. Stir in cherries and remaining ingredients. Transfer to a bowl; cover and chill 2 to 12 hours.
