Holiday Cranberry Fruit Salad Food

HOLIDAY CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the cranberries, pineapple (with juice) and sugar. Let stand for about an hour, to let sugar dissolve, and then pour the mixture into a strainer over a bowl. Let drain, covered, in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or overnight. (Note: The drippings make a wonderful cranberry punch, when mixed with lemon-lime soda!)
• Before serving, whip the cream until soft peaks form. (You can sweeten the whipped cream with a little sugar, if desired.) In a large bowl, mix together the cranberry mixture, walnuts and marshmallows. Fold in the whipped cream and store in refrigerator until serving.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium saucepan, add the water and cranberries, cook until cranberries are tender and are starting to pop.
• 2. Add the jello & sugar, stir well to combine ** Note: As long as you use 6 ounces of jello, you can use all cherry or all orange. I like to combine the two. Sometimes use all cherry. Cool.
• 3. Once cranberry mixture is cool, fold in the pineapple and nuts if using.
• 4. Pour evenly into a 9 x 13 dish. Refrigerate until set.
