I love this recipe. The combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and cherry flavored gelatin combines with cool and sweet cherries, juicy pineapple, and crunchy celery and almonds is sublime. You'll love it too!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 (16 oz.) cans Royal Anne cherries, drained, reserving juice
  • 20-oz. can crushed pineapple, drained, reserving juice
  • 1 Tbsp. unflavored gelatin
  • 3-oz. pkg. cherry Jell-O
  • 2 (3 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

PREPARATION:

Combine reserved juice from canned fruit and measure. Add water, if necessary, to make 2 cups. In small bowl, soften unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of this fruit juice for 1-2 minutes. Heat in microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until gelatin dissolves, stirring once during cooking. Set aside. Bring remaining 1-1/2 cups juice to boil in medium saucepan. In large bowl, dissolve cherry Jell-O in this boiling fruit juice. Set aside to cool slightly. In another large bowl, beat cream cheese until very soft and fluffy. Add sour cream and beat well until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of the dissolved cherry Jell-O gradually and beat until smooth. Slowly add remaining dissolved cherry Jell-O mixture and dissolved unflavored gelatin mixture. Stir until blended. Add drained cherries, pineapple, celery, and almonds. Pour into 2 quart mold, cover, and chill overnight until well set. Unmold and serve. 10-12 servings
