My Mom's Best Cranberry Salad *SO GOOD* not like regular cranberry sauce

This is very light and refreshing sweet and only slightly tart, not like the traditional cranberry sauce,
this is something Mom has always made on Thanksgiving and Christmas and at the holidays!
***WAY TOO GOOD***

2 cups RAW Chopped up Cranberries (you can use food processor-or I use my Tupperware quick chef to chop it up)
3 cups Miniature Marshmallows
3/4 cup Sugar

*Combine the first 3 ingredients & chill overnight

then the next day add
2 cups of diced unpeeled apples
1/2 cup sliced grapes
1/2 cup chopped pecans (you can leave this out if desired)
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of whipped Cream (the small liquid whipping cream you can buy whipped)

add remaining ingredients except the whipped topping ~Mix well then FOLD In the Whipped Cream!

Delicious Orange Slice Cake-- Grandma Jewell Myers always fixed this at Christmas!

I remember so many times helping Grandma cut up the orange slices into tiny bits to make this delicious fruit cake type holiday cake, it is unlike any other fruitcake you have tried, no bitterness or aftertaste etc...only sweet yummy goodness!
This orange slice cake is the best moist cake and really pretty easy to make
it just is a long baking and the trickiest part seemed to be cutting up the orange slices into pea size bits! We would try with a knife or scissors for awhile and it would be so sticky you couldn't get it through the candy ***Talk about hand cramps***
So we figured out if we would dip our knife or scissor blades into flour or sugar first it would keep it from getting so messy and work the best! *if you try this recipe you will see what I mean!
The taste was so worth the efforts!!! YUM!
Oh the precious memories! This cake you can store for quite awhile and I think the longer it sets sometimes the moister it is so you don't have to worry about it spoiling quickly. Keep it in a cake taker and will last a really long time and stay super moist for the holidays!

1 lb orange slices (cut up into pea size pieces)
2 sticks butter
4 eggs
2 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 cups chopped pecans
2 1/4 cups flour

Melt Butter and let cool
Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl,
add sugar, add butter, add flour, then
add orange slices and pecans

Bake at 250degrees for 2 hours and 45 minutes
these can be made in a bundt pan or a loaf pan
I recommend baking more than one at a time since
it is such a long baking time and
you can always eat one give the other as a gift

I recently made these in mini loaf pans each batter mix makes 4 minis
and I baked at 250degrees for 1hr 45 min

One of my funniest memories of this cake is when we first
got married the first Christmas I made one of these cakes to take
to my husbands grandmas house for the family get together.
There was just a few slices taken from the cake the last time
I looked and we were getting ready to leave so I told Byron's Grandma
to keep some for herself and here she came bringing me my empty cake taker!! LOL
that was so funny...she loved the cake and kept the whole thing!! I had expected to have some of the cake left to take home.....heehee
We still laugh about that, I was a little shocked with the totally empty cake taker!!! lol
needless to say it was a big hit and always is when I fix it.

~* The Best Cheese Ball Recipe*~ Favorite & Always a Hit*

This cheese ball recipe was
Shared with me by my Aunt Almyra
about 18 years ago & our family really enjoys it

2 pkg 8oz cream cheese
1 small Can Crushed Pineapple (Drained)
2 Tablespoons finely Chopped Onion
2 Tablespoons finely Chopped Bell Pepper
1 Tablespoon Season Salt (you can add more or less to your taste)
1/2 to 1 cup of Chopped Pecans
save half of the pecans out to roll the cheese ball in

mix in a food processor or I use my Tupperware Quick Chef
add all ingredients (Except Pecans)
and mix until well blended then add half of the chopped pecans and
mix well, then roll into ball shape and roll in the other pecans.

Something I have added is I like to add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar or the colby jack cheese to this as well and it turns out really good.

This is such a great holiday cheese ball!
