Ingredients

  • 12 oz Fresh Cranberries or frozen
  • 1 Cup Water
  • Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 14oz Can Unsweetened Crushed Pineapple, drained
  • 2 Cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 1 Medium Apple peeled, cored and chopped
  • 1 Cup Chopped Pecans
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Add the cranberries, water and granulated sugar to a pot and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool and thicken.
  • Add the cream to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until stiff peaks have formed.
  • To the cooled cranberries add the marshmallows, pecans, apples and drained pineapple. Stir well to mix.
  • Add to the mixing bowl with the whipped cream and fold in, gently.
  • Serve with a little garnish of cranberries, marshmallows and pecans on top.

Notes

You can use fresh cranberries here, like I did, or use frozen.
Mix and prepare a few hours before you want to serve to give the flavors enough time to come together.
