How to Make Julie's Frozen Cranberry Salad

  1. In a large bowl, combine the cranberries, orange zest, orange juice, sugar, and pecans.
  2. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
  3. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
  4. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the salad to prevent ice crystals from forming.
  5. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  6. Let the salad sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.
