I need to stop telling you all my best recipes, so I have something good to make when you visit!! I'm getting really excited for the Holiday's and have to share one of our favorite, and most requested recipe. Oh yeah, and about visiting and holidays...mark your calanders because I am planning a BIG and FANCY, Thanksgiving 2012 since we'll be done with school and have a house (crossing fingers), most likely in Idaho. Everyone is welcome to come!

Anyways- on to the recipe...
This comes from Taste of Homes Holiday Celebrations 2009.

Crunchy Pomegranate Salad

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-1/2 cups pomegranate seeds (about 2 pomegranates) * I only use 1 and it's plenty!!*
  
• 2 medium apples, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

• In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in pomegranate seeds and apples. Sprinkle with pecans. Serve immediately. Yield: 16 servings (1/2 cup each).
