Cranberry Salad

This is one of the dishes we have on the two turkey holidays. It came from my aunt, who brought one of these pretty pink (and delicious) salads to a family holiday dinner when I was a child. I use frozen Yukon wild cranberries, but go ahead an use your supermarket ones.

1. Grind 1/2 package cranberries. My aunt used a hand food grinder, but I just throw my frozen cranberries right in the food processer and whirl them until most of the pieces are small. And since my cranberries don’t come in packages, I use 2 cups. Put the ground cranberries in a small bowl and mix in 1 cup sugar. Let the mixture stand overnight.
2. Dissolve 1 package Knox gelatine in water according to directions given. Add water to make 1 cup.
3. Prepare 1 package Dream Whip  as directed. Mix 1/2  Dream Whip, berry mixture, gelatine mixture, and 1 small can crushed pineapple with juice, and pour it all into glass bowl or salad mold. Let set.
