This sweet festive salad goes well with pork or chicken. Placing the pineapple in the refrigerator to chill gives the sugar time to soak into the pineapple giving it a sweet taste. Be sure to mix the pineapple and cherries together in the shallow pan so that both types of fruit are covered with little of the sweet juice.
