This is how my grandmother used to make it, however she only used plain cranberries and saltines. I changed it to suit the preferences of our family.

Reviews
This is a great dish for potlucks and holiday gatherings. I normally add less sugar to the whipping cream so it doesn’t get to sweet. This is a must have for my family.
This is usually the first dish gone during the holidays. Kids love it. It’s sweet, so if too sweet with the graham crackers, you can use the saltines.
