1 green apple, chopped
2 red apples, chopped
2 bananas, sliced
8 oz. fresh cranberries
1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges
2 t. lemon juice
1 c. mini marshmallows
1 c. sugar
For whipped cream:
1 pint heavy whipping cream
¼ c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
¼ c. chopped pecans for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan combine the sugar and water. Add cranberries and cook on medium high, until you hear the cranberries pop. Cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat. Drain most of the juice from the cranberries. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
In a large bowl, mix together apples and oranges. Add a bit of lemon juice to keep from browning.
