Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise “This is just amazing,” raves teasnob. “Wonderful bright flavors, interesting texture, beautiful color...a perfect addition to any table!” “Great recipe,” according to Emily Brown Long. “I left out the celery and added a small peeled apple instead. I find that it really helps if you use some of the excess pineapple juice in the blender with the cranberries first.” Editorial contributions by Corey Williams Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops!
