Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Drain the maraschino cherries, mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks well, then set them aside.

2. Peel and core the pears and apple, then dice them into small, even pieces.

3. Put the whole cranberries in their natural juices into a large bowl and stir in the orange juice.

4. Add the drained cherries, mandarin oranges and pineapple, along with the diced pears and apple, and stir gently to combine.

5. Fold in the pecan pieces so they are evenly distributed through the salad.

6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour so the flavors blend and the salad chills before serving.
