I’ve been using Pinterest to find/try new recipes. It’s become a total crutch for me though, because I can access it from my phone. We’ve tried a ton of new things lately, but I’ve realized it would be super handy to have instant access to my fav “traditional” recipes on my phone too. I suppose I could use dropbox, but I thought I’d try posting my favorite recipes on my “Mom blog” and then pin them back to my Recipes board on Pinterest for quick and easy access. So… my Cranberry Jell-O Salad I’m making to take to a friends on Christmas day will be my “test-run.” Who knows! Maybe someone else will find it useful too!
Cranberry Jell-o Salad
1 12oz bag of fresh, whole cranberries
2 Cups water
2 Cups sugar
1 6oz cherry jell-o
1 20oz crushed pineapple, drained
1 Cup chopped walnuts
8oz cream cheese
½ pkg mini marshmallows
1 pint heavy whipping cream
Wash cranberries. Boil in (2cups) water until they pop +5 minutes. While hot, stir in sugar, jell-o, pineapple, & nuts. Pour into 9×13 pan and refrigerate overnight.
Prepare whipping cream mixture: In a separate bowl, crumble cream cheese. Add marshmallows. Pour whipping cream over all and refrigerate overnight.
Before serving, whip cream cheese mixture until it thickens and is smooth. Spread over jell-o. Serve!
