THE BEST CRANBERRY SALAD!
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!

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.

- If you don't have any orange juice on hand, you can substitute pineapple juice or cranberry juice.
- For a sweeter salad, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.
- If you're looking for a more tart salad, add an extra 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
- Garnish the salad with additional cranberries, orange slices, or chopped walnuts before serving.
