Norwegian Christmas Salad

One year my mom and aunts had a bright idea to figure out all of the many nationalities of them and their spouses, and have at least one food from each of the countries for our Christmas meal.  This is one of the Norwegian salads we found.  It’s yummy!
  • 1 pkg lime Jell-o
  • 1 c hot water
  • 1 c crushed pineapple (drained)
  • 1 c walnut meats
  • 1 (3 oz) pkg cream cheese
  • 1/2 to 3/4 c maraschino cherries, chopped
  • 1 c whipped cream
Dissolve cream cheese with Jell-o and hot water.  Beat until creamy.  Let stand until it begins to thicken.  Then whip well.  Add whipped cream, cherries, pineapple, and nuts.  It will look kind of runny at this point.  Refrigerate until set.  This can be made the day before serving.
