    Marshmallow Fruit Salad

    Also called 5-Cup Salad, because you are supposed to use just 1 cup of each ingredient, to equal 5 cups total, but I'm using way more than that to make enough for Thanksgiving. This is just a "dump" recipe as I'm planning on opening up the cans and just "dumping" them into a bowl.

    Marshmallow Fruit Salad

    Fruit cocktail, drained
    Mandarin oranges, drained
    Pineapple chunks
    Cherries
    Sour cream
    Shredded coconut
    Miniature marshmallows

    Combine the fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges, cherries and pineapple chunks in a large bowl. Fold in the sour cream and coconut. Chill. Just before serving, stir in the marshmallows and serve.

    Molded Cranberry Salad

    Here is one of the classic Thanksgiving dishes from my mother. It is an old recipe, and hence calls for a meat grinder. I've found that using a good food processor is good enough. But I have Mom's old meat grinder, maybe I'll try using it this year. This can be made a few days ahead of time in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner.
     
    Molded Cranberry Salad
    Serves 10-12
     
    Soak 1 Tbsp of unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup water
     
    Wash: 1 qt fresh cranberries (4 cups)
              2 small oranges
     
    Cut oranges into quarters, removing seeds. Put oranges and cranberris through a meat grinder, using a medium knife. Reserve the juices.
     
    Dissolve over heat: 3/4 to 1 cup sugar in 1/4 cup water.
    Add 1 pkg (3 1/4 oz box) lemon jello (NOTE: I like to use raspberry or cranberry jello when I can find it) and the soaked gelatin over heat. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Add the ground fruit.
     
    Place the salad in a wet mold or in a wet ring mold. Chill until firm. Unmold on lettuce. Serve with mayonnaise (Optional - I've never done this).
