This is very good. I love anything cranberry, so the decision to make this was a no brainer. Quick, and easy. I will be making this for Thanksgiving this year. It was my first experience making my own whipping cream too. How simple is that? I froze the pan, and kept a little out for pictures and sample. The pan is going to my mother to bring to her friends for cards. I will let you know what the ladies had to say. Thaks for this recipe. *** UPDATED 10/26/09 - My mom and her friends said this was excellent, but would probably serve this as a "fluff" salad instead of freezing it. Plus, the cranberries should be given a chopping up before going into this. Some of the chunks were pretty big, and cranberries can be a little bitter. Thanks again.

I enjoy trying new recipes for me & my two children. My kids, ages 8 & 10, are adventurous eaters, which makes it so nice for me! My heart bursts with pride sometimes when our guests exclaim as they watch my kiddos eat sauted mushrooms, tapinade, tarragon tuna melts, tortilla soup, etc.!
