My version is that I add 2 cups of red seedless grapes cut in half to this recipe. I also place the sugar and cranberries in a bowl in the fridge overnight.....drain crushed pineapple very well separately. I usually omit the nuts because of allergies with children since they usually devour this salad. In the summer I also make this recipe with fresh strawberries...it is a hit also!

Great alternative to the typical cranberry sauce. My kids don't usually eat cranberry sauce, but liked the marshmallows in this, so they did eat it. The only thing we didn't like was the pieces of cranberry skin. They were a little tough and made the texture a little weird. I also only put in a few nuts, chopped not so little, so that my kids could pick them out if they wanted. I am glad that I tried this recipe.

liked the cranberry twist on an ambrosia salad; something different!

Very good!! Not too sweet and not too tart! I let the cranberries and pineapple drain in the fridge overnight and added 2/3 can of cherry pie filling that I had left over from another recipe, which made it a nice pink color. Tasty!

This was wonderful - so much better than jello-based salads! My store was out of cranberries, so I used 12 ounces of frozen mixed berries, and it turned out fantastic! Wonderful!! This will become a holiday staple at our house.

This was just "alright." I added the full amount of sugar and even then it was too tart at the end. I don't think I'll make this again.

We ate the marshmallows out of it. I followed the recipe completely. Coconut might be better than marshmallows... who knows.. I was amazed at how much more juiced drained over night. That's a good suggestion.

Turned out great. The drippings mixed with sprite were a wonderful treat. I cut back on the sugar and used cool whip.

I used only about a cup of sugar with my cranberries and it was sweet enough. I also added some halved red grapes and skipped the nuts (allergies). I think the crushed pineapple really adds to this recipe....it was very yummy and decadent!
