Holiday Cranberry Salad

First up on our list is a recipe that my family looks forward to every Thanksgiving. As a matter of fact, Holiday Cranberry Salad is so good it can almost be considered a dessert rather than a salad.

This salad keeps well for up to 3 weeks. One full recipe will fill a gallon-size container so you can easily divide it into portions and serve it at several parties or family gatherings. It’s also a great make-ahead dish.

Regardless, of the reason, we think made-from-scratch bread is a delightful treat on Thanksgiving.
