How to Make Amish Pineapple Delight

  1. In a medium bowl, prepare 3 ounces orange gelatin according to package directions using 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, prepare 3 ounces lemon gelatin according to package directions using 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Pour each gelatin mixture into separate 8x8 inch baking dishes. Refrigerate until completely set (approximately 2-3 hours).
  4. Drain 2 cups of crushed pineapple, reserving the juice. Drain 1 cup of maraschino cherries.
  5. Once set, cut both orange and lemon gelatin into 1/2-inch cubes.
  6. In a large bowl, gently combine the cubed gelatin, drained pineapple, drained cherries, and 1/2 cup of the reserved pineapple juice (or more, to taste).
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to fully chill before serving.
