TIME: Prep: 20 min. + chilling

Ingredients:

  • 3 packages (3 ounces each) cherry gelatin
  • 2-1/3 cups boiling water
  • 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple tidbits, liquid drained and reserved
  • 2 cans (16-1/2 ounces each) pitted dark sweet cherries, liquid drained and reserved

  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
