The BEST Cranberry salad!

Recipe #14384 | 25 min | 25 min prep | SERVES 20 , 1 bowl (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: H. Cato

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!

Ingredients

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

    1. 1
      Mince Cranberries with a hand-blender, food-processor, or some kind of chopper.
    2. 2
      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).
    3. 3
      But you only fill it a 1/4 to a 1/2 full each time, or they won't be minced properly.
    4. 4
      (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.
    5. 5
      In the morning, or shortly before serving, whip the whipping cream until it peaks.
    6. 6
      Set aside.
    7. 7
      Add the marshmallows to the cranberry mixture, until thoroughly incorporated into the mix.
    8. 8
      Then slowly fold in the whipped cream, until it's completely mixed.
    9. 9
      Refrigerate until serving.

    This was very good. I too only put a cup and a half of sugar and that was more than enough. Thanks!

    This is a really OUTSTANDING cranberry salad, & that comes from someone who really, really loves cranberries! I'm not a big fan of marshmallows, but used them nonetheless, though I did cut back on the sugar by 1/2 cup. I was disappointed that there were no leftovers from a dinner party of 10, believe it or not! Great recipe ~ many thanks for sharing!

    Haven't had this salad in years. Wanted to make it lighter so I substituted Splenda for sugar and Fat Free Cool Whip. Tastes the same...never missed a thing. I didn't tell anyone about the subtitutions when I served it for Thanksgiving and they were SHOCKED when the truth was reveal. Quick and easy recipe.
