3 or 4 apples, unpeeled, cut from the core, and chopped into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup raisins
2/3 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup walnuts (optional)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup of marshmallows
6 cherries
Cut up 3 or 4 apples until you have about 2 1/2 or 3 cups of chopped apples.
Sprinkle the lemon juice over the apples;
The acid in the lemon juice prevents the apples from turning brown;
The raisins will taste best if you plump them first.
Do this by measuring them into a cereal bowl and adding enough warm tap water to cover them completely.
Allow them to sit for a few minutes, absorbing the water, and softening up.
Drain them very well when you need them. You can squeeze them to make sure they are very dry;
Chop the celery. It should take about 2 stalks.
Add walnuts (optional);
Mix everything together in a medium sized bowl with the mayonnaise and sugar, coating all of the ingredients.
Serve now or chill overnight. Serves 6. (Show #112)
