The Main Blueberry Salad:

In a large bowl combine gelatin and boiling water; stir to melt gelatin. Add the pie filling and crushed pineapple. Stir well and pour mixture into a 9' X 11' dish. Place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until firm.

The Topping:

Mix cream cheese, sugar, sour cream and vanilla using a wire whisk or a mixer. Spread mixture over gelatin and sprinkle the nuts evenly over the top. Re-refrigerate about 6 hours before serving. Serves 10-12 people.

This dish was always a family favorite and we serve this at special occasions/family gatherings. We also get great compliments with this dish.

This recipe listing is dedicated to my late grandfather, Dibrell Waldrip. He was a wonderful Christian, husband to Lois Waldrip, father to Larry Waldrip and a wonderful grandfather to Dibrell, David, and me, Darrell Waldrip.
