| 1 | Pick through cranberries, discarding any soft ones and stems. Rinse and drain well. |
| 2 | In a food processor, mince the cranberries. (It’ll take hours if you try to mince cranberries by hand!) |
| 3 | Add sugar and chopped nuts to the cranberries, and let sit at room temperature for about an hour or until the sugar dissolves. |
| 4 | Pour the crushed pineapple into cheesecloth and squeeze to drain the liquid. |
| 5 | Add the drained pineapple to the cranberry mixture. |
| 6 | Once the sugar is dissolved, add the mini marshmallows and Cool Whip, and mix well. |

Recipe Notes:
- Ensure the cranberries are thoroughly rinsed and drained to remove any debris.
- Don’t skip the step of letting the cranberries sit with sugar and nuts; this allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Squeezing the liquid out of the crushed pineapple ensures that the salad maintains the desired consistency.
