Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12-ounce) bag fresh cranberries, rinsed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cranberries have popped and the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cranberry mixture cool completely. Transfer it to a bowl to speed up the cooling process. It needs to be room temperature before you go to the next step.
- In a large bowl, gently fold in the undrained crushed pineapple, drained mandarin oranges, chopped pecans, and miniature marshmallows into the cooled cranberry mixture.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cranberry salad for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Before serving, give it a good stir.
