Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cherry gelatin
  • 1 cup chilled ginger ale
  • 1 can (14 ounces) jellied cranberry sauce
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 envelope whipped topping mix (Dream Whip)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 pecan halves, toasted

  • Drain pineapple, reserving juice in a 1 cup measure; set pineapple aside. To the juice, add enough water to measure 1 cup.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until partially set.

Tip

Save Crumbs for Topping Ice Cream

“Don’t discard cookie or cereal crumbs,” advises Marie R. of Bensenville, Illinois. “Use them to top pudding, gelatin and ice cream.”
