HOLIDAY CRANBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the cranberries, pineapple (with juice) and sugar. Let stand for about an hour, to let sugar dissolve, and then pour the mixture into a strainer over a bowl. Let drain, covered, in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or overnight. (Note: The drippings make a wonderful cranberry punch, when mixed with lemon-lime soda!)
• Before serving, whip the cream until soft peaks form. (You can sweeten the whipped cream with a little sugar, if desired.) In a large bowl, mix together the cranberry mixture, walnuts and marshmallows. Fold in the whipped cream and store in refrigerator until serving.

When it is cool, add the cup of cold water, nuts, apples and celery. Pour into a 9" square dish and refrigerate until solid and ready to serve. (I usually make this in a clear, square glass dish because it looks pretty from the sides. I serve it cut into small squares because it seems nicer to me than a big glop from a spoon.)
