12 big & 3 little people coming. 21 pound turkey - 2 GSs like to return next day for leftovers so have to plan for that.

Wouldn't be Thanksgiving without Mom’s Cranberry Salad:

Day ahead:
1 lb whole cranberries (throw sack in freezer - you want frozen)
20 oz can crushed pineapple - drain well - 3-4 hours
2/3 cup white sugar
Use food processor: grind up frozen cranberries 1/2 bag at a time or 1/4 bag at a time if you use blender.
I tried Kitchen Aid mixer grinder attachment but it didn’t work out right.
Put above in large bowl then fold in 8 oz miniature marshmallows (we like 6 oz better)
Cover & refrigerate over night. Next day fold in 8 oz thawed Cool Whip or same amount freshly whipped cream.

Freezes great if you make ahead of time but serve thawed.
