Total time:
Serves: 1 10-inch pie or 2 9-inch pies
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 20 oz can pineapple tidbits undrained
- 1 21 oz can cherry pie filling
- 1 teaspoon red food color (optional - I used just 1 squirt of red gel coloring)
- 1 3 oz box of strawberry-flavored gelatin
- 4 bananas, peeled and sliced
- 1 10-inch deep-dish pie shell or 2 9-inch pie shells baked and cooled
- 3 cups whipped cream or non-dairy whipped topping
- 1 cup finely chopped nuts (pecans or almonds), for garnish
- Measure sugar and cornstarch into saucepan; mix well.
- Add pineapple with its juice and mix well so no lumps form.
- Stir in pie filling and food color. Use a wooden spoon and stir gently to avoid smashing the cherries.
- Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened. About 5-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in dry gelatin and let cool.
- When mixture has completely cooled, gently stir in sliced bananas.
- Spoon into baked and cooled pie shell(s), and refrigerated until set.
- Top with whipped cream and garnish with nuts.
- I like to add my whipped cream with each piece.
- Note- Don't panic if the filling doesn't set up quickly; it takes time for the gelatin to gel.
- Prep time includes cooking the filling and baking your crust.
