Prep Time 25 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple in juice
- 10.5 ounces mini marshmallows
- 1 cup lightly toasted and finely chopped pecans or walnuts
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
Instructions
-
Rinse cranberries. Crush 1/2 pound at a time in blender with some water. Drain excess liquid from crushed cranberries in a fine mesh sieve or colander. Place crushed cranberries in a container and stir in sugar. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
-
The next day, stir together pineapple (with juice) and marshmallows in a large bowl and let set on the counter for at least 2 hours. Stir every 1/2 hour. The pineapple will melt the marshmallows mostly but not completely.
-
Stir in cranberries and nuts.
-
In a separate large bowl, whip the cream using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cranberry mixture. Best when served immediately. Refrigerate leftovers.
