Directions:
Rinse cranberries well. Cook them in orange juice until they pop. Use a large pot as it bubbles up a lot! Disolve gelatin in cold water and set aside. Run cranberries and juice through a food mill to remove hulls. Add gelatin and stir, add sugar while its still hot and stir well. Pour into a pan and chill. When partly set, add the pecans and fruit. Continue chilling until well congealed, several hours. I make I the day before to give it plenty of time to set.
