Cranberry Fluff
Mary Wehring from Raleigh says her little sister brought this recipe home from Brownies around 1970 and insisted they make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has been a holiday tradition ever since. They also leave out the marshmallows and sugar if anyone’s trying to eat low carbs.

Ingredients
Directions
Chop cranberries in a food processor until very small but not mushy.
– Mix together apples and chopped cranberries.
– Add marshmallows and nuts.
– Refrigerate. (The original recipe says an hour, but this is something we prepare to this point early in the day and finish when holiday prep allows.)
– Prepare Dream Whip (adding milk and vanilla and blend with hand mixer) and fold into cranberry mixture. (We have tried Cool Whip, Reddi-Whip and real whipped cream but for our family it must be Dream Whip. This is the only time we ever buy Dream Whip :>)
– Add sugar to taste.
– Refrigerate until serving.
