Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Festive Cranberry Salad.
Step 1
Start by taking a mixing bowl and combining finely ground cranberries with white sugar.
Step 2
Once mixed, cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 8 hours or overnight.
Step 3
This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to blend beautifully, creating a delightful base for your dish.
Step 4
The next day, grab a chilled glass or metal bowl and whip up some cream using an electric mixer.
Step 5
Beat the cream until soft peaks form, which will add a light and airy texture to your dessert.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to bring everything together! Take the cranberry mixture out of the fridge and gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, miniature marshmallows, and chopped pecans if you’re using them.
Step 7
Finally, add the whipped cream and mix until everything is well combined, creating a colorful and inviting mixture.
Step 8
Transfer this delightful concoction into a 3-quart dish, cover it up, and let it chill in the refrigerator or freeze for at least an hour before serving.
Step 9
This waiting period allows the flavors to deepen even further, making each bite a burst of deliciousness.
Step 10
Enjoy your creation with family and friends, and watch as they savor every spoonful!.
