How to Make Frozen Cranberry Salad

  1. Grind 16 ounces (2 cups) fresh or frozen cranberries using a food processor or blender until coarsely ground.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground cranberries, 1 (10 ounce) package of marshmallows, and 1 cup of sugar. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Gently fold in 2 (8 ounce) containers of thawed Cool Whip into the cranberry mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
  6. To serve, cut into squares and arrange on a bed of fresh greens for a beautiful presentation.
