Shaw Family Pineapple Delight

"This was a holiday tradition for many many years in my family. My dad's mother; Mammy first made this that I ever knew of as a kid. My mother fancied it up over the years adding maraschino cherries, coconut and at times mandarin oranges together to the base recipe. I give you the original recipe in it's original version. This is light yet rich and yummy at the same time! The marshmallows just begin to melt slightly and mix with the cream. I can remember huge bowls of this consumed after Thanksgiving dinners as a child and then always having it at holiday time year after year including now."

directions

  • Combine pineapple, a bit of it's juice; approximately 1/4 cup and marshmallows in a large bowl.
  • Refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours. Overnight is the best.
  • About 2-6 hours prior to serving, drain any excessive liquid though some should remain. Whip the cream and fold into marshmallow mixture.
  • Refrigerate before serving. This holds up very well in the fridge for days without the cream separating. The cook time is the refrigeration time.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

www.realethnic.blogspot.com I am marrying soon to a man who loves to eat as much as I love to cook. Gym, here he comes! I am also currently working on 3 cookbooks though I need Dragon software now due to my disabilities. My fiance and I love to be outdoors, have picnics and barbeques where I smoke all sorts of meats. I have traveled the world and am now still in my home port; at least to live but no moss grows under these feet! My fiance cannot cook, however and is now receiving cooking lessons from me. Anyone interested in cooking lessons in my area, please feel free to get in touch.
