CRANBERRY SALAD WITH MARSHMALLOWS



Cranberry Salad With Marshmallows image

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.

Categories     Gelatin

Time P2DT40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup pineapple bits, drained well
1 cup celery, diced

1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup small marshmallow, snipped in half
3 ounces lemon gelatin
1 cup water, boiling

Steps:

  • The following day:.
  • Mix gelatin with hot water, stir until gelatin is dissolved. Refrigerate and chill until gelatin is moderately set.
  • In the mean time, in a large bowl: Snip marshmallows in half. If using large marshmallows snip into several smaller pieces. NOTE: if you do not snip them they will float to the top of the mold and not be incorporated into the mold.

  • Prepare celery, apples, pecans. Add to above mixture.
  • Once gelatin is moderately jelled, add to all the other ingredients and combine well.

  • Best if prepared 2 days in advance.

Categories     Apple

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups cranberries, medium to coarsely ground
4 cups miniature marshmallows
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups diced apples, peeled
1/2 chopped walnuts
1 cup heavy cream, whipped

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.

Conclusion:

Cranberry salad is a classic holiday dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its sweet and tangy flavor, festive appearance, and easy-to-make recipe, it's the perfect dish to bring to any potluck or holiday gathering.
