Cranberry Millionaire Salad

By sjhelling

You can certainly use a store bought whole berry cranberry sauce in place of the homemade version (in step one of this recipe) but the homemade version tastes about 10000x better. It has more of a fresh tart flavor and it’s not as sweet as the store bought variety. Not only that, it’s SO easy to make… just a 3 items in a pot and let it boil 10 minutes. Don’t worry too much if your cranberry sauce seems a little runny, it thickens as it cools.

Ingredients

• 3 cups Fresh Cranberries
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 Cinnamon Stick
• 2 cups sour cream (or plain greek yogurt)
• 2 cups pineapple tidbits, well drained
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 cups flaked coconut
