Ingredients
  

  • 1 (3 ounce) Cherry Jello
  • 1 (24 ounce) Cottage cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) Whipped topping, (Cool Whip)
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) Fruit Cocktail, drained
  • 1 (16 ounce) Maraschino cherries, drained and cut in half

Instructions
 

  • Put everything in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Chill for at least an hour.

Here’s how I make it:

This recipe was passed down to me from Denton’s Mama.  My version, as per usual, is slightly different.  You can substitute name brand versions of everything if that is how you roll, I just can’t tell the difference in Jello brand jello and the Walmart version. 😉

If I were making this for just myself, I would leave out the fruit cocktail entirely.  I LOVE maraschino cherries and the more the better.  Denton would prefer that I use only 8 ounces of those and more fruit cocktail.  But we all have to compromise sometimes.

However you choose to make it, the base recipe is a delicious end result. Let me know how you like it if you decide to try it!

Cherry and Pineapple Dump Cake

Cherry and Pineapple Dump Cake

I made this for Denton’s birthday a few weeks ago and we ate the entire thing in two days.  It is a keeper!

Here’s how I make it:

Mix a can of cherry pie filling with a can of crushed pineapple together in a baking pan.

As you can see, I couldn’t find my can of crushed pineapple, so I diced up some pineapple rings I had instead.  It worked just fine!  Use what you have people.

Next sprinkle an entire box of cake mix over the top of the fruit mixture…..I used Duncan Hines Classic Yellow cake mix, but I’ve also used others, just use what you have and have a taste for!

Cut up an entire stick of butter and place all over the top of the cake mix……Cherry and Pineapple Dump Cake

And bake.  It’s so, so good!  And easy too.

Dump cakes are the best.  Let me know what you think.cherry pineapple dump cake
