Heavenly Rice

This is a favorite with the kids. Cooked rice is sweetened with sugar and marshmallows, then crushed pineapple and maraschino cherries are added, and frozen topping is folded in to make this easy holiday treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup uncooked rice
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 8 oz. tiny marshmallows
• 1 small can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 8 oz. jar maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
• 1 8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed
• Red food coloring

Directions:

Cook rice. Add sugar & marshmallows while hot. When cool, add pineapple & maraschino cherries. Fold in Cool Whip. Add drop or two of red food coloring, so it is kind of pink in color.

Number of Servings: 10-12

Notes from the Cook: I usually double this recipe as my six children always want me to make it for holidays & big get-togethers.
