Fresh Cranberry-Grape Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup red grapes
1/2 cup broken walnuts (or more, to taste)
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Preparation

Put cranberries through the food grinder, using coarse blade. Or chop in processor. Stir in sugar. Let stand overnight.
Next morning, drain well, pressing lightly to remove excess juice. (Reserve the juice for another use. I like to add it to a fruit punch.) Cut grapes in half and remove seeds if necessary. Add grapes and nuts to well-drained cranberry mixture. This much may be done ahead. Refrigerate.
Just before serving, fold in the whipped cream. Mound in a lettuce-lined bowl, garnished with clusters of grapes. Serve immediately. Recipe doubles easily.
Note: You may add a small can of pineapple tidbits, well drained, with the grapes and walnuts, if you wish.
