Bonnie's Cranberry Salad
1 pkg. fresh cranberries (freeze them to chop easier)
1 c. sugar
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
Dash of salt
1 pkg. miniature marshmallows
1/2 pt. whipping cream, whipped
1 c. celery, chopped
1 c. nuts, chopped (pecans or walnuts)
Run the frozen cranberries through the food processor or blender until finely chopped. Place shopped berries in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, drained pineapple, and salt. Stir and let sit for an hour or so to let the sugar dissolve. Stir in celery, nuts, and marshmallows. Whip cream and fold into mixture. Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight. Great with ham or turkey.

Thanks, Bonnie! Happy Thanksgiving to you too. I just happen to have to bring a cranberry salad to my sister-in-laws so I think I'll try this one!
