FAVORITE CRANBERRY MOUSSE
We live about 100 miles from Cape Cod, which is known for its cranberries. When we spent a weekend there, we toured the Cranberry World Visitors Center, which is where I found this recipe. When I made it for our fellowship group at church, everyone wanted the recipe. You'll be surprised it's so easy to make with just four ingredients.
