Creamy Fresh Cranberry And Fruit Salad


Sweet and tart fruits with marshmallows and whipped cream. Good side for poultry, pork or ham. I made this for a big family thanksgiving dinner and it went over well. As discussed in the forums at http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?p=3434704#3434704 i wanted a salad similar to several mentioned in that thread, but none was exactly what i wanted, so i took a bit from each and made my own adaptation. Cooking" time is really "chilling" time."

Steps


Mince the cranberries in a food processor.
Do this in two batches.
Stir together the cranberries and sugar.
Let sit and chill for about 8 hours.
After about 8 hours , drain the cranberries well and stir in the well-drained crushed pineapple.
Add the grapes and apples and stir.
Then fold in the marshmallows and nuts.
Let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
A few hours before serving , whip the cream until it is becoming stiff.
Fold into the fruit mixture.
Chill until serving.
