easy, easy summer side dish

Cranberry Salad..a nice cool side dish for a hot summer day.

2 cans of cranberries, whole berry style

1 can of crushed pineapple in heavy syrup

1 frozen container or package (12 to 16 ounces)of sliced sweetened strawberries, thawed

1 frozen package of sweetened raspberries (12 to 16 ounces), thawed (nay use unsweeted for a more tart salad)

Mix together in a collander to allow excess juices to drain, let chill in the refrigerator for a few hours to let flavors meld.

Goes well with anything and is cooling and refreshing.

Also makes a great dessert. Serve over ice cream (especially good over Artisian Vanilla Bean) or on top of Angelfood or white cake.

Yum!

Anything with cranberries is a winner in my book.

Sounds yummy, and every refreshing on a warm summer day.

The drained juices

sound like they'd be a great base for a refreshing cool beverage--with iced tea, or perhaps orange juice (Minute Maid reduced acid--green can.)

The drained juices are good. I usually save them and drink them. However, they are a bit sweet. That's a great idea, Lawrence, to cut the sweetness with some orange juice or tea.

These would be good over some pound cake or ice cream!! Thanks for the recipe!

Yes, Kevin, it's good over vanilla ice cream and very good on Angel Food Cake.

I like your idea of putting it on pound cake!
