Cranberry Fluff

This is a very rich salad, or dessert, whichever you would like it to be. I've always served it as a festive salad, but it could certainly be a fruity, fun dessert. This kid-friendly salad/dessert will keep in the refrigerator for several days, if there is any left after your meal. Blessings...

Recipe:

2 cups raw cranberries, ground
3 cups miniature marshmallows
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups unpeeled, diced apple
1/2 cup halved, seedless grapes
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup heavy cream, whipped stiff or 2 cups whipped topping

1. Combine first three ingredients, cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Add apples, grapes, pecans and salt; stir well.
3. Fold in whipped cream, or topping, and stir well.

Yield: 6-3/4 cups or 9 3/4-cup servings
264 calories per serving using whipped cream
202 calories per serving using whipped topping

This recipe comes from a cookbook created by the ladies of the church I attended when growing up. Wonderful cooks!!
