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.
Until next time, this is Sunscape
