ingredients

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)

directions

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