THE BEST CRANBERRY SALAD!



The BEST Cranberry Salad! image

This is just FABULOUS! Mainly for holidays, or special occasions. I got the recipe from my sister-in-law. She has a couple of recipes that she makes every year at holidays, and this is one of them. She gave it to me, and now, I make it for the other side of the family, and for friends. It's Great!

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 1 bowl, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries (minced fine)
2 cups sugar
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, juice and all (the small cans, like a tuna can)
1/2 cup black walnut
0.5 (16 ounce) package mini marshmallows
1 pint heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Mince cranberries with a hand-blender, food-processor, or some kind of chopper.
  • I use my Braun hand-blender, and the little cup it came with, which is used to chop things really small (rather than pureeing them, which the blender would probably do, if I used it without the cup).
  • But you only fill it a 1/4 to a 1/2 full each time, or they won't be minced properly.
  • (cranberries may be prepared up to 3 days in advance) In a bowl, mix the first four ingredients, and refrigerate for at least one hour, best if overnight.
  • In the morning, or shortly before serving, whip the whipping cream until it peaks.
  • Set aside.
  • Add the marshmallows to the cranberry mixture, until thoroughly incorporated into the mix.
  • Then slowly fold in the whipped cream, until it's completely mixed.
  • Refrigerate until serving.

BEST EVER CRANBERRY SALAD



Best Ever Cranberry Salad image

This recipes was orginally my DH's Grandmothers and has been tweaked by my MIL. I didn't care for cranberry salad ever till I tried this. I have been making this for years now. Its more of a Jello than a salad. Great to get kids to eat something different. It's definitely something I look forward to eating every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Great on biscuits and rolls. I make this in a large glass decorative bowl because it doesn't look good if you try to transfer it to another dish for the meals. ** Note this is best if made the night before to give time for proper set. I have a lower sugar version posted also. Suggested serving size is about 3 tablespoons.
