Lemon Jello

1 small Package of lemon jello
1 small Can crushed pineapple
1-10 oz bag mini-marshmallows (I have used the 16oz bag)
Maraschino cherries 10-12
½- 1 pint whipping cream ( I usually use more than ½ pint but usually not a whole pint)

Mix the lemon jello with two cups hot water (do no use any cold water; only hot) in a 9x13 inch glass dish. Put in the refrigerator till stiff. In a separate mixing bowl whip the whipping cream until stiff. Do not add anything to the whipped cream. Set aside Whip jello in mixer. Then add the crushed pineapple. Cut the cherries in half and add to jello mixture. Add the marshmallows and the whipped cream. Mix thoroughly. Put back in refrigerator and let set.

Can't enjoy a Turkey meal without this!
