Cranberry Cups – The perfect way to make cranberry sauce pleasing for everyone!  This recipe uses strawberry jello and crushed pineapple to create a wonderful cranberry fruit salad in a muffin cup.  These are great for individual servings!

These Cranberry Cups are a must for the holidays for our family!  I’m not a fan of the traditional jellied cranberry, so when I tried these for the first time, I was super excited! 

The combination of the strawberry jello and the pineapple make these a little sweeter, and they are always a hit.  Some years, I even make the recipe in a casserole dish when I don’t have muffin cups.

These little suckers aren’t the easiest to photograph either.  Those are FOIL muffin liners even though it is a little hard to tell from the photos. 😉

Tips for Making Cranberry Cups:

• Use a small 3 oz box of strawberry jello.
• You can leave the pecans out if you’d like.
• This recipe can be put into a small casserole dish instead of individual muffin tins.
• Use foil muffin liners.
