Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Using a food processor or blender, mince the fresh cranberries. Pulse just a few times to achieve a relish consistency. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sugar or your sweetener of choice. Cover and refrigerate the cranberry mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight. This will help soften and sweeten the cranberries, helping them become less tart.
  • To the sweetened cranberries, add in the crushed pineapple (drained of juice) and chopped pecans. Stir together well. Add the thawed Cool Whip (or Homemade Cool Whip) and stir together until fully combined.
  • Fold in the mini marshmallows. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

For best results, let the cranberry fluff salad refrigerate for a couple hours before serving. This will allow the marshmallow to soften and become fluffy.
Storage: store any leftovers in an airtight container. Refrigerated salad will keep for up to 3-4 days.
