Description

This is a recipe I discovered about 25 years ago when grape gelatin was hard to find! It's a terrific side dish or a delicious dessert. It's very rich in flavor and can be made ahead of time. Also good with cherry gelatin and cherry pie filling.

Ingredients

2 (3 ounce) packages grape flavored Jell-O® mix
2 cups boiling water
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 (21 ounce) can blueberry pie filling
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 In a large bowl, mix together gelatin powder, boiling water, pineapple and pie filling. Pour into a mold, or glass baking dish, and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
2 In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the top of the gelatin. If using a mold, unmold the gelatin before applying topping.
