Wheat Berry Salad with Red Fruit

To prepare wheat berries:  Sort through berries carefully, discarding any stones. Rinse well under cool running water. Place in large heavy saucepan. Add water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat, cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally for 1 hour. Drain and rinse. Let cool to room temperature.  (Makes about 4 1/2 cups.)

To prepare salad:  Combine orange juice & cranberries in small bowl. Let stand 15 minutes. 

Combine 3 cups cooked wheat berries, apple and pecans in large bowl; stir gently. Drain cranberries, reserving juice. Stir cranberries in wheat berry mixture.

Whisk reserved orange juice, vinegar and oil in small bowl until combined. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Pour over salad and stir gently to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to combine. Serve cold or at room temperature.
