Prep Time 45 mins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package fresh cranberries
  • 2 apples chopped
  • 13 oz can crushed pineapple drained
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1/2 c sugar (or less, if desired)
  • 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 3 c mini marshmallows, (if desired)

Instructions
 

  • Using a food processor, chopper, or skilled hands with a knife, finely chop the cranberries and apples and place in a large bowl
  • Add crushed, drained pineapple (discard juice or add to another juice for a tasty combo)
  • Stir together with salt and sugar. At this stage, the mixture is a chunky relish that freezes well, so I often divide it and save half for Christmas for our small family.
  • Prior to serving, add whipped topping and marshmallows.
