Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 package (3 ounces) cherry gelatin

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.”
