Pineapple Cream Cheese Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (3 ounce) package knox unflavored gelatin
1 (14 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (8 ounce) package low-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
cherries, with if desired (to garnish)

Preparation

In a small saucepan, over medium heat, warm the pineapple, cream cheese, and Splenda or sugar until smooth. Stir gently. This does not take long.
Remove from heat.
In a small dish, add the water. Then add the unflavored gelatin to it. Allow a few seconds for it to dissolve.
Add Knox and water mixture to the pineapple mixture. Stir well to blend.
Pour pineapple mixture in a pretty glass bowl. Gently place a few cherries on top, if desired.
Place in refrigerator to set. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.
Note: The 3 hours is your cook tiime. Also note that the small package of Knox unflavored gelatin wasn't labeled with number of ounces. Since I had removed them from the box, I guess at the number of ounces.
