wendy's cranberry salad

1 (6 oz.) package raspberry or other red Jello
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup juice, apple or cranberry - your choice
1 bag fresh cranberries, crushed in blender or food processor
1 (1 lb. 4 oz.) can can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 cup whipping cream (whipped to stiff) OR 2 cups
    Cool Whip (I use the lower fat/sugar version)
1 package mini marshmallows

1. Dissolve Jello in boiling water, then mix in juice.
2. Stir in crushed cranberries and pineapple. Let cool, but don't let it gel. 
3. Fold in marshmallows and whipped cream or Cool Whip.
4. Pour into pretty bowl!  Refrigerate 'til hardened, then serve. 

Notes: 
- You could reduce the amt of boiling water to 1 cup, and increase the juice to 1 cup; whatever works to come out to 2 cups liquid.
- To hasten, refrigerate the can of pineapple before assembling. Also, use cold juice.
- Proportions of Cool Whip and marshmallows aren't important.  I use less than a bag of mallows and give the remainder to grandkids.
- Better not to make this way in advance, as mallows will get mushy.  One day in advance is fine.
