CRANBERRY MEDLEY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until berries pop, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate, covered, until cold.

CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Pulse the cranberries in a food processor until fine and no large pieces remain. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in the sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Drain any accumulated juices from the cranberries and reserve for another use, and then stir in the marshmallows and drained pineapple and set aside.
• Whip the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl until it begins to thicken, about 1 minute, and then beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture, one third at a time, until fully incorporated. Transfer to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish.
• Refrigerate or freeze for about 2 hours. Right before serving, garnish with the pomegranate seeds.

CRANBERRY CREAM SALAD

Steps:

• Chop cranberries in a food processor or blender. Don't cut them too finely as you'll want to have larger chucks in there too. If using frozen berries, chop while still frozen.
• Combine cranberries and sugar. Let stand for 2 hours.
• In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff.
• Fold in the marshmallows and pineapple.
• Give the cranberries and sugar a stir, then gently fold it into the whipped cream mixture. Over mixing will turn the entire mixture pink. While it won't change the taste, or make it any less attractive, try to have a few 'ribbons' of cranberry throughout the bowl.
• Spoon into a large glass serving bowl or individual parfait glasses. Chill until ready to serve.
