At our family Thanksgiving dinner, several cranberry dishes sit next to the turkey Silly Salad. This cranberry sauce concoction is covered with a white blanket of cream cheese and whipped cream and served quasi-frozen. It's tart, sweet, creamy, slightly tangy all at the same time. Canned whole or jellied cranberries can be used instead of making the cranberry sauce from scratch; however, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to make homemade cranberry sauce. The nuts can be omitted and you can customize the sauce by adding a dash of ground cinnamon or finely grated orange zest. The recipe can be doubled for a 13" x 9" dish. <br /> <br />The dish is also a good traveler - no sloshing or falling apart. I hope this Silly Salad shows up at your Thanksgiving table. At the very least, the funny name brings smiles into the dinner conversation. This recipe is also on www.GinsKitchen.com.
