FRESH CRANBERRY-GRAPE SALAD



Fresh Cranberry-Grape Salad image

This has been a traditional salad on our Thanksgiving table for many years. To give you an idea of how long, the only red grapes I could get at first had seeds in them. There was no such thing as seedless! This salad is so much less work now that I don't have to seed the grapes. And it really is delicious -- so different . And it has a make-ahead feature that is most welcome at this busy time. It can be started up to 2 days ahead. Recipe from BH&G. Chilling time is not counted in prep time.

Time 25m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup red grapes
1/2 cup broken walnuts (or more, to taste)
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

  • Put cranberries through the food grinder, using coarse blade. Or chop in processor. Stir in sugar. Let stand overnight.
  • Next morning, drain well, pressing lightly to remove excess juice. (Reserve the juice for another use. I like to add it to a fruit punch.) Cut grapes in half and remove seeds if necessary. Add grapes and nuts to well-drained cranberry mixture. This much may be done ahead. Refrigerate.
  • Just before serving, fold in the whipped cream. Mound in a lettuce-lined bowl, garnished with clusters of grapes. Serve immediately. Recipe doubles easily.
  • Note: You may add a small can of pineapple tidbits, well drained, with the grapes and walnuts, if you wish.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb raw cranberries
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 lb small marshmallows
1 lb purple grapes, seeded and quartered (we also like red grapes)
1/2 pt whipped cream, whipped
1 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Grind cranberries with blender or food processor. Cover with sugar.
  • 2. Add marshmallows and grapes. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Before serving, fold in whipped cream and nuts.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cranberries and grapes: Fresh cranberries and grapes will give your salad the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
  • Wash the cranberries and grapes thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cut the grapes in half: This will make them easier to eat and will help the salad to look more appealing.
  • Use a variety of nuts: You can use any type of nuts that you like, such as walnuts, pecans, almonds, or pistachios. Chopped walnuts are a classic addition to cranberry-grape salad, but you can get creative and use other nuts or a combination of nuts.
  • Don't overmix the salad: Overmixing can cause the cranberries and grapes to break down and become mushy. Gently stir the salad until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Cranberry-grape salad is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cranberry-grape salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its vibrant colors and flavors, cranberry-grape salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
