Note: This is my aunt Gennie’s recipe. It is really scrumptious! My family has a particular affinity to this recipe, since we’re from Angels Camp, California, home of the Jumping Frog Jubilee; a tradition brought about by Mark Twain’s story of Bret Harte and the Bull Frog.

1 cup whole cranberries or canned cranberry sauce with berries
1/2 cup sugar
3 bananas, sliced (see Gwen Stafani Hollaback Girl)
1 can pineapple tid-bits
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup pecans
2 small cartons whipping cream

Mix first 6 ingredients in a large bowl; whip cream until almost stiff; fold into cranberry mixture. Let chill overnight. Like Gwen and Blake.

Note: Great with holiday meals.
