Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 20 oz crushed pineapple drained
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 8 oz whipped topping thawed
  • 0.5 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Pulse cranberries in a food processor for 10 short bursts until coarsely chopped (about 30 seconds).
  • Transfer to a large bowl, stir in sugar until coated, then cover and refrigerate 30 minutes, stirring once for even sweetness.
  • Drain crushed pineapple thoroughly, add to cranberry mixture, discarding juice.
  • Fold in miniature marshmallows and pecans, then gently incorporate the whipped topping until blend is uniform.
  • Cover and chill at least 1 hour (up to 4 hours for silkier texture) before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep below 40°F to maintain freshness and prevent bacterial growth.
For best texture, consume within 48 hours—marshmallows begin to soften after day two.
