Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fresh cranberries
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 8 ounces Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 1 cup Mini marshmallows
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 cup Pecans (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly and drain them well.

Step 2

Using a food processor or a knife, finely chop the cranberries into small pieces. Be careful not to over-process them into a paste.

Step 3

Place the chopped cranberries in a large bowl and stir in the granulated sugar. Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the sugar to macerate the cranberries, bringing out their natural sweetness.

Step 4

Once refrigerated, drain any excess liquid from the cranberries and sugar mixture. Transfer the cranberries to a clean mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the drained crushed pineapple, mini marshmallows, and orange zest to the cranberries. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until it forms soft peaks. Add the vanilla extract and continue whipping until incorporated.

Step 7

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture until everything is evenly combined.

Step 8

Finally, fold in the chopped pecans for a delightful crunch.

Step 9

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or a sweet, fruity dessert.
