cranberries that have been sweetened and dried like raisins.

For heaven's sake! Thanks. I do not experiment much with food, so if its not meat, potatoes and gravy, I have to bow to my cook friends.

My absolute favourite salad is a 7 layer and there is never any left. We also have it for any special occasion.

Only once or twice a year, on the very hottest days, my mother would make fruit salad and muffins (with fresh Maine blueberries in August) for supper. The salad was special. Remember--this was in the '60s. She started with a commercially jarred fruit mixture called "Fruits for Salad," and she drained the syrup out of the fruit. She made a light custard sauce, to which whipped cream was added, and that was mixed with the fruit. Canned peaches, pears, and a very few red cherries were the fruits. It sounds very basic now, but it is one of my favorite food memories.

Your 7 layer salad looks a lot prettier than mine. I put it in a 9x13 cake pan to make getting all layers easier.

Part of the pleasure is its look, so we always use a glass bowl to see the layers.The hard part is digging down to the bottom to get all the layers. :sm01:

Could it be Cottage Cheese on the side with a Gelatin salad. Possibly orange with carrots.
