Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz fresh cranberries rinsed and picked over
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple well drained
  • 2 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup heavy cream cold

Equipment

  • 1 food processor

Method
 

  1. Pulse the cranberries in a food processor until finely chopped, taking care not to puree them.
  2. Transfer the cranberries to a large bowl and stir in the sugar.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  4. Add the drained pineapple and marshmallows to the cranberry mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Beat the cold heavy cream in a medium bowl until it holds medium peaks.
  6. Gently fold the cream into the cranberry mixture until evenly combined.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Pulse the cranberries only until finely chopped so the salad keeps its texture. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free variation, use chilled coconut cream in place of the heavy cream.
