Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fresh cranberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 1 cup pineapple tidbits, drained
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water and drain.
Pulse the cranberries in a food processor until they are coarsely chopped. Avoid over-processing to prevent turning them into a puree.
Transfer the chopped cranberries to a mixing bowl and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Stir well to coat all the cranberries, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the sugar to macerate the cranberries.
After 1 hour, drain any excess liquid from the cranberries. Return them to the mixing bowl.
Add the red seedless grapes, pineapple tidbits, mini marshmallows, and chopped pecans to the bowl with the cranberries. Gently toss to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream mixture into the cranberry and fruit mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Cover the cranberry salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold as a refreshing side dish or dessert. Enjoy your Cranberry Salad Supreme!
