There is something nostalgic and fun about a good jello salad. This recipe is loaded with cherries and pineapple. It is easy to make and fun to eat. We love it as a scoop and serve salad, but it can easily be converted into a more solid slice if you'd like. Either way it is a tasty way to get enjoy your fruit. The whipped cream is optional, but highly encouraged!
Add pie filling and drained pineapple and mix well
Refrigerate until firm (at least an hour or two)
Stir before serving. See notes if you would prefer to make a cut and serve salad.
Notes
It can easily be converted into a more solid slice and serve salad if you would like. Just use six ounces of cherry jello instead of the three. Dissolve it in a scant two cups of boiling water. Stir in the fruit and pour into a 9x13" pan. Chill for at least two hours, longer is better. This will give you a more "solid" jiggly salad. Both ways taste great!
