HEAVENLY HASH FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• 1. FIRST, you will need 1 very large bowl for the salad and a medium mixing bowl for mixing dressing. (My VERY LARGE bowl is about 15 inches in diameter, and about 10 inches tall.) Wash and drain all fresh fruits and celery; allow to drain until as dry as possible. Drain all canned ingredients well.
• 2. Remove grapes from stems, cut in half if you wish, and add to the large mixing bowl. Cut cherries in half, if you wish (and remove stems, if needed). Add all to the salad bowl, along with drained canned orange segments and pineapple chunks.
• 3. Cut up apples and celery as directed in the ingredients list. dd to the large bowl (as per above).
• 4. Peel and slice bananas, and add to the salad bowl.
• 5. If using large marshmallows, cut them into quarters with kitchen shears into the salad bowl. If using miniature marshmallows, just add them to the salad bowl.
• 6. Add walnut pieces to the salad bowl.
• 7. To make the salad dressing, place thawed Cool Whip in a medium mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise and whisk them together. Add sugar, spices, and rum (or almond) extract.
• 8. Mix the dressing well to thoroughly combined.
• 9. Pour dressing over salad in a large bowl.
• 10. Gently fold all ingredients with a rubber spatula until well coated with dressing.

GREAT GRANDMA'S HASH BROWN POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Peel then shred potatoes. Put shredded potatoes in a potato ricer and squeeze out the water from potatoes. Toss with the onion, add salt and pepper. Heat grease in heavy skillet. Pack potatoes firmly in skillet, leaving 1/2 inch space around edges. Cook over low heat 10 to 15 minutes or until bottom has brown crust. Cut into 4 sections and carefully turn(only once). Add 1 T. more grease and cook another 10 to 15 minutes if necessary Very crispy cooked this way.

GREAT GRANDMA'S HEAVENLY HASH

Steps:

• 1. Pour whipping cream in bowl (preferably glass cause plastic can have a bit of grease and the cream wont take if there's any oil or grease) and whip with an electric mixer until stiff peaks start to form. The same consistency as what whipped cream is supposed to be, obviously, lol.
• 2. You'll need a good pair of scissors and a glass of water. Using clean scissors snip the marshmallows in half or quarters if you like but halves are easiest, dipping the scissors in the water to cut the marshmallows easier as it gets sticky. The miniature Marshmallows tend to get mushy too quickly so that's the reason I use the big marshmallows.
• 3. Drain and add pineapple. Discard juice.
• 4. Take the cherries out of the jar and save the juice. Cut the cherries over the bowl so the juice drips into the mixture.
• 5. Slice bananas. I cut them in half down to the bottom of the peel and then cross cut them into 4ths but you can slice them how you like. Add to mixture. (I cut everything over the bowl and just let it fall right in).
• 6. Give the mixture a stir or two and then add a little at a time, take your leftover cherry juice and a splash or two and mix it up til its nice and pink and has a slight cherry taste to it.
• 7. Cover and Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until marshmallows are softened. The only drawback to this dish is that the bananas will tend to brown by the next day. Its still good but over a couple of days it can get a little watery/oily texture to it. Not much you can do about that. However, the stuff never is around that long anyway because the family eats it up pretty quick. You can also add other things to this recipe like grapes, raisins or nuts. It's up to you. You can also substitute Cool Whip for the whipping cream but I like the real thing. Enjoy!
• 8. *if you want to make double the recipe, obviously you're going to double the ingredients. For heart patients my father happens to be one and they told him to use Cool Whip instead of whipping cream. I love the real thing though.
