• 1 (12 ounce) package fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped

Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 2 hrs 15 mins


• in a large bowl, stir together the cranberries, pineapple (with juice) and sugar. let stand for about an hour, to let sugar dissolve, and then pour the mixture into a strainer over a bowl. let drain, covered, in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or overnight. (note: the drippings make a wonderful cranberry punch, when mixed with lemon-lime soda!)
• before serving, whip the cream until soft peaks form. (you can sweeten the whipped cream with a little sugar, if desired.) in a large bowl, mix together the cranberry mixture, walnuts and marshmallows. fold in the whipped cream and store in refrigerator until serving.
