Ingredients

1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts toasted
1 20 oz can premium cherry pie filling
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple drained
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp pure almond extract
2 8 oz frozen whipped topping thawed
maraschino cherries for garnishing

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread chopped nuts in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Toast for 6-8 minutes, then cool completely.
In a medium bowl use a large spoon or spatula to mix together the cherry pie filling, drained pineapple, sweetened condensed milk and almond extract.
By hand fold in 1 8 oz container plus 1/2 of second container of whipped topping and the toasted nuts by hand. Cover and chill for 4 hours. (Reserve remaining 1/2 container whipped topping and 1 Tbsp toasted nuts for garnishing.)
Before serving garnish with reserved whipped topping, chopped nuts and maraschino cherries.

Notes

You can skip toasting the nuts, if time is an issue. It's well worth the small amount of time and effort it takes for the impact roasting has on the flavor overall.
