Pomegranate Salad (from my aunt, Maralee Gardner) ~ Marcie Francis

This is a good "make-ahead" side dish/dessert for special occasions, like Thanksgiving.

1 large box cherry Jell-O brand gelatin
2 cups boiling water
1 large can crushed pineapple (don't drain)
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1 pomegranate, seeded (reserve a few seeds)
4 apples, peeled and finely chopped

Combine and put in 9 x 13 pan. Refrigerate until set. Then spread topping (recipe follows). Sprinkle with remaining pomeg. seeds if desired.

Topping:
8 oz cream cheese
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup whipping cream

Whip the cream cheese, then mix it with the pwd sugar & vanilla until smooth. Then add the whipping cream, and stir until smooth (don't whip the cream).
