Holiday Cranberry Salad - by Sunscape

If you are looking for a light fruity salad for your holiday meal, you may enjoy this fresh cranberry salad. I have to say, I was a bit skeptical about this recipe, but to everyone's delight, they enjoyed it for Thanksgiving. I am repeating it for Christmas Day as well.

Cranberry Salad

1 lb. fresh cranberries chopped finely in a food processor.
1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup of sugar
1 pint of heavy cream
2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of mini marshmallows

• 1 - Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl and allow it to sit for 2 hours. Drain and discard the accumulated juice.

• 2 - In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the powdered sugar and vanilla.

• 3 - Fold the cream mixture into the cranberries, and add the marshmallows until completely mixed.

• 4 - Refrigerate overnight and serve chilled.

This Cranberry Salad will replace the traditional jello mold we have made over the years since everyone loved it.

Happy Holidays to all.
