My mother found the cranberry-thing recipe. The actual name is frozen cranberry salad and it appears to be relatively easy to make.
I went grocery shopping on the 4th for the ingredients and learned a few things:
- Cool Whip is kept in the freezer aisle. This small fact would have saved me time instead of frantically going back and forth down the milk section!
- READ YOUR INGREDIENTS LIST CAREFULLY. There are several different types of sugar, cranberry sauce and pineapples. There is a difference between coarse and granulated, whole and sauced, crushed and chunks. I could have saved myself two (yes, two) extra trips back to the store had I paid attention.
- When all else fails, try Google. I had no idea what “fold in topping” meant, but the Interwebs has DOZENS of step-by-step videos and articles on it!
I also learned that the grocery store does not have a wide variety of cooking pans, so my actual baking is on hold until I can get over to Target this weekend…
Speaking of Cool Whip…
