Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh cranberries
• 2 cups frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 3.5 cups water
• 2.5 cups white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat and add cranberries and sugar. Reduce heat and let simmer until berries pop open, about 15 minutes. Pour into a colander set over a freezer-proof bowl. Mash or press out cranberry juices and discard skins, unless you want to use them for something else.

Step 2

Stir orange juice and lemon juice into the cranberry juice. Freeze until mushy, about 1 hour.

Step 3

Stir in whipped topping and mix well. Freeze, stirring occasionally, for 24 hours.
