Scotts Holiday Cranberry Salad Recipes

HOLIDAY CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the cranberries, pineapple (with juice) and sugar. Let stand for about an hour, to let sugar dissolve, and then pour the mixture into a strainer over a bowl. Let drain, covered, in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or overnight. (Note: The drippings make a wonderful cranberry punch, when mixed with lemon-lime soda!)
• 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.

HOLIDAY CRANBERRY WALDORF SALAD

Steps:

• In a serving bowl, combine the apples, celery and cranberries.
• In a small bowl, combine mayo, sugar and lemon juice; mix well.
• Pour over apple/cranberry mixture; toss well to combine.

HOLIDAY CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Grind cranberries (I use my food processor).
• Add sugar and crushed pineapple, chill overnight in a plastic container, with a lid.
• Add remaining ingredients before serving.

HOLIDAY CRANBERRY FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over the 1 cup chilled juice. Let stand for 1 minute.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 cup juice to boiling. (I heat the juice in a glass measuring cup in the microwave for 2 minutes.).
• Stir the boiling juice into the gelatin mixture. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
• Refrigerate until chilled but not set.
• Remove from the refrigerator. Stir in the chopped cranberries, pineapple tidbits, grapes, chopped apple, marshmallows, and chopped pecans (optional).
• Chill until set, about 3 hours.

AUNT BRENNIE'S HOLIDAY CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Dissolve Jello in boiling water.
• Add pineapple and the cold water.
• Chill until thickened (optional, but recommended).
• Cut orange into wedges and remove seeds. The orange peel adds a nice tang, but if you want to cut back on the tang, then you can peel some of the orange, but the peel makes it good.
• Put orange and cranberries through food processor and pulse as you would cole slaw -- don't puree. May take several batches. I do about a cup of cranberries and a wedge of orange per batch in my VitaMix blender. Pour results into a large bowl.
• Mix in diced apples and sugar and chopped nuts.
• Fold in thickened jello.
• Pour into a mold or just a bowl and chill for a few hours. (I've never used a mold and tried to turn it out myself, I just pour directly into a nice looking serving bowl.
• This is best if you make it the day before.
