- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional)

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fresh cranberries under cool water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Slice the cranberries in half and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Rinse the red grapes and slice them in half. Add them to the bowl with the cranberries.
Step 4
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the cranberries and grapes. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly with sugar.

Add the orange juice and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until well combined and the sugar starts to dissolve.

If desired, fold in the whipped cream for a creamy variation, or leave it out for a lighter dish.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
