Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Fruits
- 3 cups fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped
- 2 medium apples, cored and diced
- 1 cup chopped pineapple (fresh or canned)
Nuts
- 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
Sweeteners
- 1/2 cup sugar, adjust based on sweetness preference
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional)
- 1/2 cup whipped cream or yogurt for dressing (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cranberries, diced apples, and chopped pineapple.
- Stir in sugar, nuts, and mini marshmallows if using. Mix well until all the fruit is evenly coated with sugar.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, fold in whipped cream or yogurt for a creamy texture, or serve as is for a fresher, lighter option.
Notes
For a nut-free version, substitute nuts with sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Dried cranberries can replace fresh cranberries, though they may be sweeter. Prepare a day ahead but add nuts and whipped cream just before serving for best texture.
