Black Cherry Jello Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large box black cherry jello (diet or regular)
1 small can crushed pineapple, drain and save juice
1 large can pitted black cherries, drain and save juice
1 c. chopped pecans
1 pt. whipping cream (if Cool Whip is used, put some unjelled, moveable, jello in part of Cool Whip to make it more spreadable)

Preparation

Mix 2 cups hot water in jello until dissolved, then pour juices into 2-cup container and add water to make 2 cups.
Add this to jello mixture; stir until well mixed.
Add pineapple, cherries and nuts.
Put in refrigerator and let jell until thick but not set.
Usually about 45 to 50 minutes depending on your refrigerator.
When it is thick, fold whipped cream or the thinned Cool Whip into the jello.
Be sure and get jello out of corners of bowl.
Can be made a beautiful dish with purple and white stripes on top, or maybe \"swirls.\"
May add whole pecans on top. Cut in squares and serve on lettuce.
Makes 8 or 10 squares depending on size you cut them.
Great for company.
