3. Combine the pineapple, Jell-o and sugar in a sauce pan.
4. Dissolve the mix over low heat until the Jell-o is dissolved.
5. Beat the cream cheese with a fork, not a mixer.
6. Add the apricot baby food and mix well.
7. Fold in the whipped topping until it is well combined.
8. Place in the apricot and pineapple salad in the refrigerator. Allow it to set.
9. Place sliced pineapple and cherries on the top of the salad in designs. If the salad is for children, make smiley faces or flowers out of the pineapples and cherries.
