This is a delicious Jello dessert with a couple of surprises in it. It is sometimes called a salad, but as you'll see, it's really an interesting dessert with an awesome flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small pkg lemon Jello
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (with juice)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup pecans (finely chopped)
  • 8-12 oz. container Cool Whip
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Directions:

Mix sugar and pineapple in small saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring. Remove from heat. Set aside and allow to cool.

Add 1 cup boiling water to lemon Jello and stir to dissolve. Stir in pineapple-sugar mixture. Allow to thoroughly cool. Stir in shredded cheese and chopped pecans. Refrigerate. Allow to congeal slightly, then stir in Cool Whip. Refrigerate 4-6 hours or until ready to serve.

This can be really dressed up for a party by adding a swirl of whipped cream to the top of each serving. Add a maraschino cherry and a mint leaf or two.

Does this salad/dessert set up firm enough to
unmold onto a plate for instance? It sure does
sound good. I'm always looking for something
a little unusual to share with my girls.

Thank you.
