Grandma Ruth's Cranberry Ice
Growing up, one of my favorite holiday memories was Thanksgiving with my Grandma Ruth and her fantastic cranberry ice. Everything about her cooking seemed magical, but there was something extra special about her cranberry ice. This frozen treat goes great with Thanksgiving dinner or as a palate cleanser between dishes!
