1 12 oz. bag fresh or frozen (thawed) whole cranberries
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple drained

2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 15 oz. can mandarin oranges drained

Finely chop cranberries in a food processor. Add to a fine mesh sieve and push out any excess moisture (over the sink). Add drained pineapple and push down with a spatula to remove any excess moisture. Stir in sugar until well combined. Place sieve over a bowl, cover and place in the refrigerator. Let chill 2 hours up to overnight. Add cranberry mixture to a serving bowl. Stir in the marshmallows, followed by Mandarin oranges. Set aside. Beat heavy cream in a large mixing bowl for 1 minute then beat in powdered sugar. Continue to beat until soft peaks form. Fold vanilla yogurt into whipped cream. Fold the whipped cream mixture into the cranberry mixture. Right before serving, garnish with the pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately or best if chilled 1-4 hours.
