Total time: 
Serves: 1 10-inch pie or 2 9-inch pies
 
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. Measure sugar and cornstarch into saucepan; mix well.
  2. Add pineapple with its juice and mix well so no lumps form.
  3. Stir in pie filling and food color. Use a wooden spoon and stir gently to avoid smashing the cherries.
  4. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and is thickened. About 5-8 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in dry gelatin and let cool.
  6. When mixture has completely cooled, gently stir in sliced bananas.
  7. Spoon into baked and cooled pie shell(s), and refrigerated until set.
  8. Top with whipped cream and garnish with nuts.
  9. I like to add my whipped cream with each piece.
  10. Note- Don't panic if the filling doesn't set up quickly; it takes time for the gelatin to gel.
  11. Prep time includes cooking the filling and baking your crust.
