8 oz. Cranberries
3 oz. Light brown sugar or Florida Honey
3/4 cup Unsweetened apple juice
1 Cinnamon stick, broken
10 1/2 oz. Small Florida strawberries, washed, hulled and halved
Sauce:
8 oz. Raspberries, thawed if frozen
2 Tbsp. Corn Syrup

Place the cherries, cranberries, and sugar in a saucepan. Pour in the apple juice and add the cinnamon stick. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes until the fruit has just softened.
Stir the strawberries into the cranberry and sugar mixture and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and leave to chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Remove and discard the cinnamon stick.
Just before serving, make the sauce. Place the raspberries and corn syrup in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the fruit is just beginning to soften. Stir the marshmallows into the raspberry mixture and heat through, stirring, until the marshmallows begin to melt.
