This recipe was a favorite of my Grandmother’s. And why not! A midwestern staple, it’s a cinch to make. It’s sweet, bright and the pineapple adds a nice acidic balance. Marshmallows make it kid friendly. The only leftover will be the empty bowl. My cranberry relish was inspired by this dish.

Servings: 15 – 1/3 Cup Calories: 120 Equipment: Medium mixing bowl, blender/immersion blender, a knife for chopping and a rubber spatula.

  • 3 C Cranberries, chopped
  • 1 C granulated Sugar
  • 1 C Whipped Cream
  • 3 C Marshmallows
  • 1 C Pineapple, chopped

    In a blender, chop the cranberries with a few pulses. Chop one cup worth of fresh pineapple. In the mixing bowl, mix the cranberry, pineapple and sugar. Stir and allow to sit in the fridge for 2-3 hours to break down the sugar. Then add the whipped cream and marshmallow to the cold fruit and sugar mix. Allow to refrigerate for a few hours before serving. Serve cold.

Bon Appetit.
