Ingredients

1 pound fresh cranberries, ground
20 ounces crushed pineapple, drain well
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
10 ounces mini marshmallows
8 - 16 ounces Cool Whip (Whipped Topping)

Instructions

Combine ground cranberries, drained, crushed pineapple and sugar, and let set for 30 minutes. Stir in chopped nuts and marshmallows.
Add in whipped topping, one tub at a time to your desired texture.
Chill until ready to serve.

Notes

This recipe uses fresh cranberries.
To grind fresh cranberries, place in a food processor and pulse.
Be sure to drain the crushed pineapple well. A fine-mesh sieve works great for this.
For the Cool Whip, add between 1 and 2 small containers to your desired consistency. I typically use around 1 1/2 tubs.
Feel free to make this cranberry salad ahead of time and freeze to save yourself time at the holidays.
