Holiday Jell-O

For the Empty Nester's who requested the Jell-O recipe, here it is. For the rest of you youngin's who didn't get to come because you're not "old" enough, you might like this too!



Jell-O:
1 (6 oz) box cherry Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
1 (14 oz) can whole berry cranberry sauce (not the jellied kind)
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple (do not drain)
1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling

Topping:
1 (3 oz) box instant vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip (or to taste)

In a medium bowl, stir the cranberry sauce to break it up. Add the crushed pineapple with juice, and the cherry pie filling. In a separate bowl, stir the Jell-O and boiling water together until the Jell-O is dissolved. Add Jell-O to the fruit mixture and stir to combine. Pour into a 9x13 pan or individual serving dishes. Chill until set, about one hour.
Just before serving, mix vanilla pudding with milk and whisk until thick. Fold in about half to 3/4 of the Cool Whip container and check to see if it is the ratio you prefer, adding more Cool Whip if necessary, then spread it over the set Jell-O.
Note: I thought stiff paper cupcake liners were a good idea, but they became too soggy. The foil liners worked well though.
