Aunt Maxines Cranberry Salad Recipes

SUMMERTIME MACARONI SALAD ALA AUNT MAX

Steps:

• 1. Cook macaroni to package directions. (do not overcook it will flatten the macaroni)
• 2. While that is happening, prepare all the vegetables.
• 3. Cool the macaroni. When the macaroni is finished cooking, pour off the hot water and immediately add very cold water to macaroni to stop the cooking process. You can either add some ice to the pot and stir the macaroni until chilled or you can pour off again and add more cold water. I find adding ice cubes the best method.
• 4. When the macaroni is cool and drained, mix all the ingredients, except tomatoes, in a large bowl.
• 5. When you have finished mixing thoroughly and have added the correct amount of salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes and fold them in gently so you do not end up with pink salad. Or you can sprinkle them over the top for a decorative touch.

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.
