  • 2 cups (475 ml) miniature marshmallows

  • Chop cranberries in a food processor, pour into large bowl and mix with sugar.

  • The next day zest the rind of the 3 oranges and then cut the oranges in half like a grapefruit.
  • Cut the orange halves as if you were sectioning a grapefruit and remove the orange sections.

  • Fold in Cool Whip lightly.
  • Serve on lettuce leaves.
