I found this recipe in an area newspaper years ago. When this festive salad appears at a potluck, folks always come back for seconds...and sometimes thirds! I sometimes tint it with food coloring for the holidays. Ingredients:
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin |
1/4 cup cold water |
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice |
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream, whipped |
12 maraschino cherries, halved |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, dissolve gelatin in cold water. Add pineapple, cream cheese, sugar and juices; cook over medium heat, stirring often, until cream cheese is melted and gelatin is dissolved. Chill until syrupy. Fold in cream and cherries. Pour into an oiled 6-cup mold. Chill until firm. Yield: 8-10 servings.
