Recently I was at lunch with some women, and we were sharing Thanksgiving recipe favorites. One of them told us that her all time favorite was a thing called Cranberry Fluff. I love cranberry anything, so I had her call me with the recipe. I gave it a try tonight, as a Thanksgiving pre-trial. I had looked on the Internet and found a recipe for Cranberry Fluff from Taste of Home that was exactly the same as hers, only double the amount of fresh cranberries. I tried that one. It was really good-not too sweet, very refreshing - and really tart! I think I will try using my friend's version with half the cranberries for Thanksgiving, because, while my husband and I loved it, I don't know if the grand kids would like it that tart. It is a fun and different way to do cranberries at Thanksgiving. I really liked it!!!
If you have a food processor, it's a snap to finely chop the cranberries.
In my friend's recipe, it said to grind the cranberries. I guess if you have a way to grind them - it would be great!
Taste of Home
4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries (my friend's recipe called for 2 cups) -Note: after trying the 2 cups at Thanksgiving - WAY better! I highly reccomend it!
3 cups miniature marshmallows
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups diced unpeeled tart apples
1/2 cup halved green grapes
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
Directions
Place cranberries in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl; add marshmallows and sugar. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Just before serving, stir in the apples, grapes, nuts and salt. Fold in whipped cream. Yield: 10-12 servings.
