Cranberry Fluff
Description
This recipe begins by finely chopping fresh cranberries and blending them with sugar to soften their tartness. After chilling, crushed pineapple, grapes, and chopped pecans add sweetness and crunch. Mini marshmallows and whipped topping fold in to lend lightness and creaminess, balancing the tart fruit elements. The mixture is well combined for a refreshing yet rich fruit salad.
The salad can be served immediately or refrigerated to meld flavors. Garnishing with reserved cranberries, grapes, pecans, and marshmallows can add visual appeal and textural contrast. The balance of sweet and tart flavors, along with varied textures, makes it a fitting addition to holiday meals or potlucks.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces cranberries fresh
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces pineapple drained, canned, crushed
- 1 cup grapes cut in half, green, seedless
- 1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 8 ounces Cool Whip or homemade (1 tub = 3 cups)
Instructions
- Add cranberries to a food processor and pulse to finely chop the berries.
- Add sugar to the cranberries and pulse until mixed. Transfer cranberries to a bowl.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or at least 2 hours).
- Add the crushed pineapple, grapes, and pecans to the cranberries and mix it all together.
- Add the mini marshmallows and mix. Add the Cool Whip and fold everything together until thoroughly mixed.
- Serve immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator. I like to top this salad with some cranberries, grapes, pecans, and marshmallows for garnish. If you're going to do this, set a little of each aside before starting the recipe.
Notes
- Red seedless grapes or a combination of red and green grapes may be used according to preference or sale availability.
