Cranberry and Pineapple Pie Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole cranberry sauce (or 1/2 cup dehydrated cranberries re-hydrated)
  • 1 eight-oz. can crushed unsweetened pineapple, drained
  • 1 three-oz. pkg raspberry-flavor gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 9" graham cracker crust 
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows 
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk 
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 1 cup of whipped heavy-whipping cream

Instructions

  1. In a glass bowl, dissolve the raspberry gelatin in a cup of boiling water. 
  2. Stir in the cranberry sauce. (Re-hydrate the cranberries first until they are plump if you're using your dehydrated cranberries) and then add the drained pineapple. Allow to cool slightly, then pour carefully into the pie crust shell.
  3. Put it in the fridge to set.
  4. Next, in a heavy pan, combine the condensed milk, and mini marshmallows and stir over low to medium heat until the marshmallows have melted.
  5. Take off the heat and add the vanilla.
  6. Put into a large bowl, cover it, and let it stand until cooled to room temperature.
  7. Whisk in a third of the whipped cream until smooth. Keep at it until it's smooth! 
  8. Fold in the remaining cream and spread over the chilled and set cranberry-pineapple-raspberry gelatin mix in the pie crust.
  9. Refrigerate the pie until the topping is firm.

Yes, it's worth the work—and let me tell you—the end result is so worth it! This is an amazing cranberry and pineapple pie for any occasion, really!

Mom and Eddie's Cranberry Pineapple Pie

My mom always makes this pie at Christmas time.

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!

How Long Does It Take to Grow a Pineapple?

Pineapples thrive in warm, tropical climates where they get plenty of sun and well-drained soil. But here’s the surprising part—it takes about 18 months to grow just one pineapple!

That’s right—these sweet, juicy fruits require patience. When you think about the time and care that goes into growing a single pineapple, it’s easy to see why they aren’t the cheapest fruit at the store.

To make sure there's no pineapple waste on your watch, dehydrate it!

But once you taste that perfectly ripe, sun-kissed pineapple, you’ll understand why they’re worth the wait!


What are the Different Types of Cranberries?

Cranberries growing in a field

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.

How Are Cranberries Grown?

Cranberries are unique—they don’t grow on trees or bushes like most fruits. Instead, they thrive in wet, acidic soil and require full sun and consistent moisture to grow properly. These low-growing vines spread across bogs and marshy fields, where they soak up nutrients from the damp environment.

Regular watering is crucial, as cranberry plants can’t tolerate drought conditions. Once the berries ripen to their signature deep red color, they’re typically harvested in the fall—often using the famous flooded bog method, where water helps lift the berries for easier collection. Check out the great video above!

The result? Those tart, flavorful cranberries we love in everything from sauces to baked goods!

Where are Commercial Cranberries Farmed?

Here are some of the major areas where cranberries are commercially farmed:

  • Massachusetts - This is one of the top producers of cranberries in the world. The Cape Cod region has an ideal climate and terrain for cranberry bogs.
  • Wisconsin - Wisconsin is another major hub of cranberry production in the U.S., particularly in the central and northern regions of the state.
  • New Jersey - New Jersey has long been a leader in cranberry cultivation, with large operations in the Pine Barrens area.
  • Oregon - The Pacific Northwest, including coastal regions of Oregon, has significant commercial cranberry farms.
  • Washington - Washington state also produces sizable cranberry crops, benefiting from its moist climate.
  • Quebec - In Canada, Quebec is by far the largest producer with massive cranberry bogs.
  • Chile - For the production of cranberries in the Southern Hemisphere, Chile has developed into a major growing region.

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.
