CRANBERRY SALAD (A.K.A. THANKSGIVING PINK STUFF)
My mother got this recipe from a dear family friend in the 1950's. No matter who in our family is making Thanksgiving dinner, you can bet this dish will be served. Note: the times indicated do not include refrigeration time. Cranberries from Wisconsin make this a Midwest U.S. regional recipe. (Also, I first enjoyed it in Missour - another fine Midwestern state).

Steps:

- Serve immediately.
- Note: You can use Cool Whip instead of whipping the cream, but the flavor is so much better with the real thing!
