Cranberry Salad



 This recipe comes from the secret family file of my friend, Lynn G.
My kids don't all love it, but I could eat the whole thing myself.
I make half this recipe for our family and that is plenty.
It's so much better than regular cranberry sauce, in my opinion!


THIS IS A MUST AT CHRISTMAS AND THANKSGIVING
BE SURE TO BUY YOUR CRANBERRIES BEFORE THANKSGIVING
STORE THE EXTRA EITHER IN THE REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
DON’T EXPECT TO FIND CRANBERRIES IN DECEMBER.

2 bags crushed cranberries – put them through a food processor
1 ½ cups sugar
1 16 oz. can of crushed pineapple - drained
Combine these ingredients.   Mix and cover.   Place in refrigerator over night.

The next morning:
1 pint of whipping cream (NOT cool whip) whipped until pretty stiff.

Fold in the whipping cream into the cranberry mix. 
Add 1 bag of mini marshmallows (I use about 1/2 this amount)
Add 2-3 cups of chopped walnuts.
Stir together and chill.
