Cranberry Cracker Salad

Recipe By: posted to r.f.cooking by Barb Schaller, 6-22-06 Serving Size: 1 Preparation Time: 8:00 Categories: Salads

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method 1 # bag cranberries 30 soda crackers (2" squares) coarsely crushed 1 container Cool Whip (9 oz.)

Cook the cranberries according to package directions; cool. In a bowl (about 1-1/2 quart capacity?), preferably clear glbutt, layer the ingredients in order given, in thirds, ending with Cool Whip. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Now, here's what I really did: I used 1-1/2 cans (a half can for each layer) Ocean Spray Whole Berry cranberry sauce instead of cooking fresh ones. I bought a 12 oz. carton of Cool Whip and used what I hoped was about 9 ounces worth. A little tricky putting the whipped topping on top of the soda crackers -- put on dollops of the stuff and carefully spread it together to cover, trying not to curse when you flub up and pull the soda crackers up.
