Wonderful recipe and very nostalgic of a recipe I had growing up on the eastern shore. A food processor helps in preparation...chopping by hand not only doesn't make sense but you won't achieve the desired texture. It's a very unique recipe and a welcomed change of pace from the usual cranberry recipes.

I actually combined this recipe with #14384. I needed a cranberry salad that would appeal to young people for my son's Boy Scout Troop "Thanksgiving feast". And I wanted to make a quantity so I needed to double it. The other recipe has double the amount of sugar, called for black walnuts and used real whip cream. I couldn't imagine using the 4 cups of sugar that was called for. The use of Cool Whip here didn't really harm the end product. I came home with very little of this salad considering I doubled the recipe. This recipe has the Troop 214 Stamp of Approval. I actually used 3 cups of sugar for my doubled batch and only one carton of Cool Whip and a full package of mini-marshmallows for the double batch. I am someone who likes to taste some tartness with my cranberries, that edge was pretty much gone :-) so if/when I re-make this, I will probably stick with the 1 cup of sugar recommended here. This will appeal to a wide range of tastes at a family holiday gathering and it is very pretty.
