NOTE: This is my favorite holiday dessert pie, though we don't save it just for holidays anymore! :-)
My mom always makes this pie at Christmas time though. I love the sweetness of the pineapple and the condensed milk, followed by the tartness of the cranberries! She says it takes a little time to prepare, but it's worth it. It is simply delicious...
Add the creaminess of the topping—the marshmallow, milk, and cream—heavenly!
Pineapples are grown in tropical climates.
The plants need full sun and well-drained soil.
It takes about 18 months to grow a pineapple.
To me, they're worth the wait.
Sometimes, when you realize just how long you've had to wait for something, you realize the price you pay is a fair price.
Cranberries are a type of fruit that is grown in wet, acidic soil.
Cranberry plants need full sun and moist soil to grow well. Watering cranberry plants regularly is important, as they will not tolerate drought conditions.
They are typically harvested in the fall after the fruits have turned red.
Here are some of the major areas where cranberries are commercially farmed:
Other significant cranberry farming areas include British Columbia in Canada, northeastern U.S. states like New York and Maine, and some European countries like Germany.
However, the highest commercial volumes come from the cool, wet climates of the major cranberry-growing regions mentioned above.
There are several different types of cranberries that you can grow. Some of the most popular varieties include:
American Cranberry: The American cranberry is the most common type of cranberry grown in the United States. This variety has a tart flavor and is often used in pies or sauces.
Northern Cranberry: The northern cranberry is a variety that is native to Canada. This type of cranberry has a sweet flavor and is often used in desserts or as a garnish.
