very runny and tart. Not sure why to leave overnight there is nothing that is helping it set. Needs a vanilla pudding or something to give substance. Followed the exact recipe but way too runny and sour. Read More

My husband is very particular and I was so happy when he really loved this recipe. First I made it exactly as it is then later I made it again but changed the whip cream to Cool Whip. He didn't like it anymore after that. So I will stick to this original recipe from now on. Read More

This recipe is very good. I had gotten tired of cranberry sauce-it is generally too sweet so I was leary of this recipe but I love cranberries so I tried it and I am glad I did. The amount of the ingred. is just right. It is tart but not "pucker your mouth" tart. Thanks for a new favorite at our table. Read More

I didn't put the banana in this salad. At first I forgot to add the whipping cream and it tasted good not great. The next day I added whipping cream to the rest and it was great!! The fresh cranberries add a great zip and contrast to the sugar. Read More

I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. The only changes I made were when I put the cranberries in the food processor I added 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream I also added 1/2 cup more of sugar. Thanks for the great recipe. Read More

This is one of my families favorites -- my grandchildren call it "Pink Salad" and request it over and over again. I don't use the bananas and I have been known to use Cool Whip.... They fight over who gets to take home the leftovers! Read More
