Cranberry Fluff Salad

 JoyDee McCorkle (Oregon) says:
I first had this salad in 1963. My MIL traditionally served it at holiday gatherings. It is a MUST have at our family gatherings over 40 yrs. later. Cool Whip does not give the quality or texture of using real whipping cream. Cool Whip can also cause the berries to curdle.

This is so delicious. My family prefers the marshmallows ground with the cranberries in the food processor. It gives it a better texture. Also, real whipping cream is a must! Cranberries freeze well if you would like to enjoy this recipe year round. It's not Thanksgiving without this delicious salad.

I don't like cranberry sauce so I never served cranberries at Thanksgiving until I tried this recipe. It is AWESOME. My kids and family loved it. Not tarty at all.

This recipe is scrumptious! I wanted to incorporate cranberries into Thanksgiving this year, since we never do, and was totally impressed! The husband and kids loved it, too. It is sweet enough to be considered a dessert though. I am definitely keeping this recipe to use in the future!

I have been making this cranberry salad for over 30 yrs. Like so many others said, it's a family favorite and a family tradition! I make this salad all year round, not just for holidays. I add my heavy whipping cream right before serving instead of letting it sit overnight; keeps the cream nice a fluffy!

My late mother in law, an excellent cook, from Paducah, Texas, made this for us in the early 1980s. We have had it for Thanksgiving ever since. It's easy to make and keeps for quite a while well covered in the 'fridge.

I am kind of a health nut and a diabetic. So I cut the sugar in half and use light cool whip. It is still delicious and the hit of my Thanksgiving dinners.

My mom makes this every year for my brother and I. It is our favorite but we just call it Cranberry Salad.

 Sheryl (Oklahoma) says:
This recipe has been a Holiday favorite for years in my family. I let the chopped cranberries and sugar sit overnight in fridge, then add the remaining ingredients and most definitely use real whipping cream, cool whip just wouldn't be the same. Maybe a couple of hours in the fridge before serving, to let the marshmallows absorb the flavor.

I make this minus marshmallow add cherry Jello and use cool whip. It is a family favorite.

Just made this for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner. It tastes amazing now. I can't wait to see how it tastes after being refrigerated overnight.
