We spend Thanksgiving as often with friends as we do with family and one of the best parts are the new foods we encounter from other people's family traditions. I could eat nothing but this and stuffing for T-day and be perfectly happy.
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple with juice
1/4 cup of sugar
1 packet unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
3 tbsp cherry juice
3 tbsp maraschino cherries, finely chopped (or substitute 1 pkg frozen strawberries)
1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 - 2 cups of cool whip
Heat the pineapple with sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar. Meanwhile, soften gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Add the gelatin to the pineapple mixture and let mixture cool. Mash cream cheese with a fork, then add the cherries and cherry juice. Mix with the pineapple and chill until slightly thickened. Defrost the Cool Whip and blend into the pineapple-cheese mixture. Pour into mold or glass bowl and chill until set.
Try not to eat all of it in one sitting.
