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.
