  • Prep Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Servings: 20
  • Yield: 1 bowl

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple
  • 1/2 cup black walnuts
  • 0.5 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Cranberries:

    • Begin by mincing the cranberries. You can use a hand-blender, food processor, or any suitable chopper for this step.
    • I prefer using a Braun hand-blender with its accompanying small cup designed for chopping. Ensure not to overfill it, keeping it at 1/4 to 1/2 capacity to achieve proper mincing.
  2. Mix Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, combine the minced cranberries, sugar, crushed pineapple, and black walnuts.
    • Mix well and refrigerate the mixture for at least an hour, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together. This step can be done up to 3 days in advance.
  3. Whip Cream:

    • Prior to serving or in the morning, whip the heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks.
    • Set aside for later use.
  4. Incorporate Marshmallows:

    • Add the mini marshmallows to the cranberry mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Fold in Whipped Cream:

    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture until thoroughly combined.
    • Take care not to deflate the whipped cream; a light and airy texture is desired.
  6. Chill and Serve:

    • Refrigerate the salad until ready to serve, allowing it to set and chill for the best flavor.
    • Serve chilled and enjoy the burst of delightful flavors in every bite!

This Cranberry Salad is a true crowd-pleaser, perfect for gatherings, holidays, or any occasion deserving of a special treat. With its vibrant colors and refreshing taste, it’s bound to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Share the joy of this delicious salad with your loved ones and create cherished memories around the table! 🥗✨
