Everyone has their traditional foods that show up on the Thanksgiving table every year, there will be additional recipes to follow, but one of my all time favorites is Cranberry salad. It is a creamy, sweet and tart, slightly crunchy fruit salad that puts cranberry sauce and regular fruit salads to shame. I PROMISE it is worth making/trying at least once and who knows maybe it will become your family favorite too!
Cranberry Salad
2 packages cranberries (rinsed and sorted)
1 large can crushed pineapple (drained)
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup almonds
2 cups whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups mini marshmallows
Use blender or food processor to coarsely chop almonds. Place almonds in a medium-sized salad bowl with a lid. Once cranberries have been cleaned and sorted, place 1/4 of cranberries and into a blender or food processor until coarsely chopped, then add to almonds. Repeat with remaining berries (when berries are placed in food processor in smaller batches, they blend more evenly.)
-Add pineapple and sugar to cranberries and almonds, mix well and let set.
-Meanwhile, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form, add vanilla. Add whipped cream to salad bowl and mix gently. Stir in marshmallows. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Best chilled overnight.
-YUM!
