CRANBERRY SALAD WITH MARSHMALLOWS



Cranberry Salad With Marshmallows image

I'll bet this recipe is over 75 years old! My husband's Grandma made this every year for the holidays. Now his Aunt does, she even grinds her own cranberries in her mother's old fashion grinder. I think that is too much work but knock your socks off if you have one! Call me lazy, but I use a food processor. You will need to begin the prep process the 2 nights before. This is very sweet, personally, I am not crazy about the marshmallows, but they are pretty.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 12h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups fresh or thawed frozen cranberries (about 12 ounces)
1 orange, cut into 1-inch pieces (2 cups)
2 tablespoons packed fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup sugar
Coarse salt
2 cups heavy cream, plus more for serving
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
Pomegranate seeds, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine cranberries, orange, mint, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse just until chopped but not watery, 12 to 15 times.
  • Whisk cream with remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl to stiff peaks. Add yogurt and continue whisking until stiff peaks form again. Gently fold in cranberry mixture and pecans, just until combined and no streaks of white remain.
  • Transfer to a 2-quart serving dish or individual serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 1 day. Serve chilled, dolloped with whipped cream, and, if desired, sprinkled with pomegranate seeds.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and a firmer texture than frozen cranberries. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overcook the cranberries: Cranberries only need to be cooked for a few minutes until they soften and burst. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
  • Use a variety of nuts: This salad is a great way to use up leftover nuts. You can use walnuts, pecans, almonds, or any other type of nut that you like.
  • Make it ahead of time: This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for potlucks or holiday gatherings.
  • Serve it chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can chill it overnight.

Conclusion:

Cranberry and marshmallow salad is a classic holiday dish that is always a hit. It is a sweet, tangy, and creamy salad that is sure to please everyone at your table. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this delicious salad in no time. So next time you are looking for a festive and easy-to-make salad, give cranberry and marshmallow salad a try.
