Last year I shared my pumpkin pie recipe for our family's traditional Thanksgiving, this year I thought I would share a very old recipe that my mom made since I was a little girl. It came in a 1950s salad cook book that I still have, and let me tell you there are some very strange things in there, but this one is a gem. Everyone seems love it, it was dads favorite, now my hubby and Niece ask for it each year.
Rosy Fruit-cocktail salad ~
2 3oz packages of cream cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup heavy cream - whipped
3.5 oz fruit cocktail well drained
1/4 cup maraschino cherries quartered
2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice for color and flavor
Soften the cream cheese and blend with mayonnaise. Fold in the remaining ingredients.
Pour the salad mixture into a shallow round container or onto a baking sheet with a lip and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours. To serve let it stand for a few minutes, then remove from container, if you need to you can set the bottom of the container in warm water to loosen it up. If you use a baking sheet cut into triangles and use a spatula to lift out of the pan.

I remember eating something very similar to this at church potlucks and family reunions when I was a tiny child. It was soooo good!
