Let drain, covered, in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or overnight. (Note: The drippings make a wonderful cranberry punch, when mixed with lemon-lime soda!)
- Before serving, whip the cream until soft peaks form. (You can sweeten the whipped cream with a little sugar, if desired.) In a large bowl, mix together the cranberry mixture, walnuts and marshmallows. Fold in the whipped cream and store in refrigerator until serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used in a pinch, but they will not have the same bright, tart flavor.
- Be sure to rinse the cranberries thoroughly before using them. This will remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the cranberries. This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Add the cranberries to the salad just before serving. This will help to keep them from getting too soft.
- Serve the salad chilled. This will help to keep the cranberries firm and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Frozen cranberry salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any holiday gathering. It is easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time. The combination of cranberries, oranges, pineapple, and marshmallows is sure to please everyone at your table.
