Festive Cherry Pie Jell-O

cherry pie jell-o

I would just like to make it known that I am not a huge fan of Jell-o.  

It's okay in it's plain form, but when those Jell-o salads start getting funky stuff like marshmallows, cool whip, fruit and even NUTS? in them... that's when my nose has always turned up.

My Aunt Carol is an awesome cook, and we take turns throughout the year having dinner at their house and at our house. I always look forward to her meals.

A couple of years back, she made this Jell-o and I almost didn't try it.  

But I couldn't hurt her feelings, and honestly... my kids are there, I always make sure they try EVERYTHING, so I have to set an example right?

So I did.

And boy was I glad.

So, here is where I start over. 

I have never been a huge fan of Jell-O. 

But I have ALWAYS been a huge fan of PIE!

I especially love cherry pie.  Something about cherry pie filling is just 

so.darn.good.

This recipe is super easy, and can I just tell you my favorite thing to make when I make a ham?  

They pair together perfectly. 

With the holidays coming up, ham season is here, 

And it's red, so it's festive.

It's again, easy, and it certainly won't break the bank.

Give it a whirl...

It might make a Jell-o believer outta you!
