Cranberry

This recipe came from my mothers mother. My Grandma makes this cranberry mold for Turkey feast it is better then the basic cranberry. My grandmother uses fresh cranberries. I will try that the next time I make this dish. She also uses Queen Anne Cherries, but they are hard to find, so my mother substitutes them with Mandarin oranges. It is easy to make and should be made at least 1 day before your meal. It has been in our family for as long as I can remember, I make it every year for our Thanksgiving feast.
