This is a recipe my mother has made for years and has become a
favorite of three generations. Try it the next time you have a bunch
of finicky eaters to feed, but be prepared to serve up seconds.

Gelatin Salad with Cherries

1 - 3 oz (85 g) package raspberry-flavored gelatin
1 cup (250 ml) hot water
1 - 8 oz (225 g) can crushed pineapple, drained
and juice reserved
1 - 15 oz (425 g) can Bing cherries, drained and
juice reserved
1 banana, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch (1 cm) dice
1 cup (250 ml) sour cream
Sour cream for garnish

Combine the gelatin and the hot water in a bowl and stir until the
gelatin is dissolved. Add the drained fruits and 1 cup (250 ml) of
the reserved juices and stir. Chill until slightly firm. Fold in the
bananas and sour cream. Pour into a gelatin mold or 8 inch (20 cm)
square cake pan and chill until set. Top each serving with a dollop
