1 c. boiling water
1 pkg. (3 oz.) lime flavored gelatin
1/4 c. sugar
1 can (8 3/4 oz.) crushed pineapple, drained (reserved syrup)
1 1/4 c. (about 3 1/2 oz.) flaked coconut
1 c. chilled heavy cream, whipped

Pour boiling water over gelatin and sugar in a bowl and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Add enough water to pineapple syrup to measure 1/2 cup liquid. Mix into gelatin. Chill until mixture is slightly thickened. Stir in pineapple and coconut. Fold in whipped cream. Turn into a 5 cup mold and chill until firm. Unmold onto a chilled serving plate. Garnish with pieces of maraschino cherries.
