Cherry Pineapple Jello Salad
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!

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!
