Exceptional Cranberry Salad

• 2 (16 ounce) cans whole berry cranberry sauce
• 2 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple
• 1 cup crushed pecans (or other favorite nut)
• 2 medium sized apples (unpeeled)

1. Strain the liquid from both cans of crushed pineapple.
2. Good tip--put the pineapple into a fine mesh sieve and press it down with the bottom of a bowl.
3. Make sure you have most of the juice removed.
4. You can save the pineapple juice if you have another recipe to use it in--I save mine & make smoothies for the kids.
5. In a large mixing bowl put both cans of strained pinapple & both cans of cranberry sauce.
6. Add 1 cup of crushed pecans.
7. Add more or less (or none) depending on taste.
8. Core and dice two medium sized apples.
9. Using a firmer apple, like Fuji, helps it keep it's consistency.
10. Mix all ingredients together, making sure you have no "clumps" of cranberry sauce.
11. Chill and serve.
12. Enjoy!
