CRANBERRY SALAD WITH MARSHMALLOWS
I'll bet this recipe is over 75 years old! My husband's Grandma made this every year for the holidays. Now his Aunt does, she even grinds her own cranberries in her mother's old fashion grinder. I think that is too much work but knock your socks off if you have one! Call me lazy, but I use a food processor. You will need to begin the prep process the 2 nights before. This is very sweet, personally, I am not crazy about the marshmallows, but they are pretty.

- Once gelatin is moderately jelled, add to all the other ingredients and combine well.

CRANBERRY AND MARSHMALLOW SALAD
This is not only yummy, but it is very pretty to the eye. The red of the cranberries and the white tiny marshmallows are a wonderful contrast. The other ingredients give it some crunch. Pretty for the holidays.

Steps:
- Mix the cranberries, marshmallows and sugar together.
- Cover and set overnight (or several hours at least).
- Whip the heavy cream and add this to the cranberry mixture along with the apples and walnuts.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more vibrant color than frozen or canned cranberries.
- Chop the Cranberries: Chopping the cranberries before mixing them with the other ingredients helps to release their juices and create a more evenly distributed flavor throughout the salad.
- Use a Variety of Nuts: Feel free to mix and match different types of nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds, to add texture and flavor to the salad.
- Chill the Salad Before Serving: Chilling the salad for at least an hour before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Top the salad with fresh herbs, such as mint or rosemary, for a pop of color and flavor.
