Frozen Cranberry Salad

A friend I met through Swedish weaving (Susan Helms) mentioned this recipe on Facebook so I requested it and she happily obliged. It sounds like a wonderful make ahead recipe.

• Mom's Frozen Cranberry and Banana Salad
  
  1-20 oz pineapple tidbits (drained)
  5 medium firm bananas halved
  1-16 oz whole cranberry sauce
  1/2 c sugar
  1-12 oz carton thawed cool whip
  1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
   
  Stir together and freeze, keeps good in freezer for a good month Take out just a little ahead of time and cut and eat. it is really good. my family likes it for dessert even. Tastes alot better than it sounds.
  
  Enjoy and have a Merry Christmas!
  We eat it before it thaws much.
