Pink Perfection Cranberry Salad Recipes

FROZEN CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole berry cranberry sauce, sugar, and drained pineapple.
• Stir until everything is combined. You may use a hand mixer at this stage.
• Fold in the entire container of cool whip.
• Dice your bananas. I prefer to slice the banana lengthwise to create ¼ pieces. You don't want your banana pieces too big.
• Scoop the salad into individual cups and freeze for at least 3 hours.
• Remove from freeze 5-10 minutes before serving.

PINK PERFECTION CRANBERRY SALAD

• Unused portion may be returned to freezer and kept for a few weeks.

CRANBERRY SALAD (A.K.A. THANKSGIVING PINK STUFF)

Steps:

• The day before serving, cook cranberries in water over low heat until soft.
• Add sugar and mash.
• Add chopped nuts.
• Stir, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• About 4 hours before serving, add the fruit cocktail.
• Just before serving, whip cream, add sugar and vanilla and whip until soft peaks form.
• Add bananas to fruit mixture.
• Gently fold whipped cream into fruit mixture until well blended.
• Serve immediately.
• Note: You can use Cool Whip instead of whipping the cream, but the flavor is so much better with the real thing!

CRANBERRY GELATIN SALAD I

Steps:

• Combine the gelatin and boiling water; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Mix in cranberry sauce and pineapple.
• Transfer to glass serving dishes. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Chill until set and serve.

PERFECTION SALAD

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over jello in bowl.
• Stir until jello is disolved.
• Stir in vinegar, veggies, salt, and cold water.
• Pour into mold, chill until firm.
• Serve unmolded on chilled plate, topped with a generous dollop of mayonnaise (family tradition of the last 30 years or so demands that you use Best Foods mayo brand - *never* Miracle Whip).
• If preferred, use 1/2 cup celery and 1 cup grated carrot.
• You can use sugar-free jello for a diabetic/lowcarb version of Perfection Salad. Sometimes lemon jello is difficult to find - we've sometimes used lime instead.
