1 can cherry pie filling (21 oz.)
1 frozen whipped topping (8 oz.), thawed
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1 small jar maraschino cherries (with stems)

First, and very simply, take a large glass bowl, and fold together all of the ingredients.

Take your time and make certain the blend is totally uniform.

Then spoon the mixture into either a single serving bowl or individual dessert dishes and place into the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (but preferably overnight).

When you're ready to serve, top each dessert with a stemmed maraschino cherry and a spring of fresh mint.

Note: These are so good and they go so fast, you might want to consider doubling the recipe!.
