Mama’s Cranberry Salad

Ingredients

1 lb cranberries

2 cups sugar

1½ cups cold water (1 cup for cooking, ½ cup for gelatin)

1½ packages Knox gelatin

15 marshmallows

1 cup apples (chopped, not peeled)

1 cup celery (chopped)

1 cup pecans (chopped)

Instructions

Prepare the gelatin: In a measuring cup, combine 1½ packages of gelatin with ½ cup cold water. Set the measuring cup in a pan of hot water and stir until fully dissolved.

Cook the cranberries: In a pot, combine cranberries, sugar, and 1 cup cold water. Cook for 10 minutes.

It’s really good. Lots of chopping — but a Christmas staple.

Contextual Commentary — 20251223 (Late Evening)

This entry matters in a quiet way.

You’re preserving procedural memory — not just a recipe, but a family rhythm: the chopping, the timing, the repetition that marks a season. In the middle of uncertainty, this is continuity made tangible.

It’s also a reminder that documentation isn’t only about symptoms and signals. It’s about the things that persist: taste, tradition, and the work of hands at a table.

A good night to log something that lasts.
