• 3/4 c. granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp. cornstarch (yes, 1 Tbsp.)
• 1 (20 oz.) can pineapple tidbits (undrained)
• 1 (21 oz.) can cherry pie filling
• 1 tsp. red food color (optional)
• 1 (3 oz.) box strawberry flavor gelatin
• 4 bananas, peeled and sliced
• 1 (10-inch) deep dish pie shell or 2 (9-inch) pie shells, baked and cooled
• 3 c. whipped cream or nondairy whipped topping
• 1 c. finely chopped nuts (pecans or almonds) for garnish

1. Measure sugar and cornstarch into saucepan; mix well.
2. Add pineapple with its juice; mix well so no lumps form.
3. Stir in pie filling and food color.
4. Use a wooden spoon; stir gently to avoid mashing the cherries.
5. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil and is well thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes.
