How to Make Kelley's Cranberry Salad
- Rinse 1 (12-ounce) bag of fresh cranberries thoroughly and remove any soft berries or stems.
- Roughly chop the cranberries using a food processor or by hand (pulse in a food processor for a finer texture).
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped cranberries, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts. Gently mix and let sit at room temperature for at least 60 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves.
- While the cranberry mixture sits, drain the 1 (20-ounce) can of crushed pineapple using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove excess liquid.
- Add the drained crushed pineapple to the cranberry mixture.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, gently fold in 1 (10-ounce) bag of mini marshmallows and 8 ounces of Cool Whip. Mix until well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill. Enjoy!
