Quick Cranberry Salad

In our family we call this salad “Cranberry Fluff”.  I’m not a big fan of cranberries, but I love this salad.  In fact, for many years this is the only way my mom could get me to eat cranberries.
  • 3 c whole fresh or frozen cranberries (fresh chops up better)
  • 2 1/3 c miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 c chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans work best, but we've also used sunflower nuts)
  • 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
  • 8 oz Cool Whip (the Extra Creamy variety is best)
Put cranberries through food chopper, using coarse grind.  Chill 2 hours.  Add marshmallows, pineapple and nuts.  Fold Cool Whip into the cranberry mixture.  Spoon into bowl, cover and refrigerate or freeze in 8″ square baking pan or a jello mold.
