This dessert was passed down to me from my great-aunt. It was made as an elegant dessert, circa 1920. Ingredients:
1 -1/3 cup pineapple tidbits or 2/3 cup crushed pineapple, drained |
1 - 6oz. jar maraschino cherries, drained and chopped |
(reserve 6-8 teaspoons of juice) |
1 cup mini marshmallows |
1/2 cup pecans, chopped |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup cool whip |
note: my aunt used to used whipping cream, whipped, but it goes flatter and mooshier much, much faster, so i use cool whip. |
Directions:
1. Combine pineapple, cherries, marshmallows, pecans and vanilla in bowl, stir well. Fold in Cool Whip.
2. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour prior to serving. If using real whipped cream, chill for at least 4 hours.
3. Spoon onto plates or into serving bowls, top with pecans and a teaspoon of reserved juice.
