Best Cranberry Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chopped cranberries and sugar in a large, nonreactive bowl. Toss well. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
• After 3 hours, stir apples, marshmallows, and pecans into cranberries. Combine yogurt and whipped topping; fold into cranberry salad. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mince cranberries with a hand-blender, food-processor, or some kind of chopper.
• I use my Braun hand-blender, and the little cup it came with, which is used to chop things really small (rather than pureeing them, which the blender would probably do, if I used it without the cup).
• But you only fill it a 1/4 to a 1/2 full each time, or they won't be minced properly.
• (cranberries may be prepared up to 3 days in advance) In a bowl, mix the first four ingredients, and refrigerate for at least one hour, best if overnight.
• In the morning, or shortly before serving, whip the whipping cream until it peaks.
• Set aside.
• Add the marshmallows to the cranberry mixture, until thoroughly incorporated into the mix.
• Then slowly fold in the whipped cream, until it's completely mixed.
• Refrigerate until serving.

• Before serving, whip the cream until soft peaks form. (You can sweeten the whipped cream with a little sugar, if desired.) In a large bowl, mix together the cranberry mixture, walnuts and marshmallows. Fold in the whipped cream and store in refrigerator until serving.

Steps:
