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.

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!

Delicious, even with the walnuts omitted for picky eaters!

I have a similar recipe...we use 1 cup pecans. We whip tbe heavy cream to stiff peaks and then fold in the mini marshmallows and let it sit for at 2 hrs or overnight. Tip: if you freeze your cranberries before you mince them its much easier. When it comes time to mix the two mixtures together we lightly drain the pineapple and fold everything together. We usually get to this point the next morning. This is a special holiday dish, because that is the only time they have fresh cranberries in the store. My mother-in-law use to make this for my husband every holiday, its been 14 years and he has not missed a holiday without this salad.

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

Served at Thanksgiving last year. Everyone loved it. Was requested to make it again. Cut back sugar to 1.5 cups and was still very sweet. Thanks for a great recipe

Thanks, have been looking for this recipe. I however put in grapes too in mine, gives it a bit more crunch and I add pecans since I don't like walnuts. I too freeze my cranberries, makes them easier to mince, and the cool whip tastes the same. Have been searching for days. THANKS TONS!

This was surprisingly good! I served these with my Thanksgiving meal. I cheated and used cool whipped topping instead of whipping the heavy cream. Yummy!

This is my recipe as well. Its' so good with chicken or turkey. You can also put it in a mold and serve that way.

This is an old family favorite of ours.. it wouldn't be the holidays without it. Our recipe calls for just one cup of sugar, one cup of whipping cream and 12-16 oz of marshmallows, otherwise, it is the same. I have to admit though that there is a good natured arguement over who will make it each year as some of us prefer it without the nuts, some with.. LOL.
