I can't believe that this isn't already up- This is my family's recipe, and it is soooo easy and fabulous- you never need to mess with cooling or jelling, and it can be made a little more dietetic if you use low-fat or non-fat milk and cream cheese:

2 pkg jello (any flavor)
1 can crushed pineapple in own juice- do not drain.
8 oz cream cheese
i can evaporated milk

pecans or walnuts( optional)
sliced marschino cherries (optional)

Put entire can of pineapple in saucepan and bring to a boil. Add jello, cook until dissolved, stirring constantly. Mix in cream cheese (a hand mixer helps here) until smooth, stir in evaporated milk and nuts and/or cherries if using them. Pour into mold.

My husband likes this so much I occasionally make it between holidays as a dessert!

Frosted Orange Salad

Pineapple, bananas and marshmallows are folded into orange Jell-O in this refreshing salad. Frosted with a creamy topping, pecans and coconut, this yummy dish is a real crowd-pleaser.
3 packages (3 oz each) orange gelatin
3 cups boiling water
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple
3 cups cold water
4 medium bananas, sliced
2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Stir in cold water, bananas, marshmallows and pineapple into gelatin. Pour into a 13" x 9" x 2" dish coated with non stick cooking spray, refrigerate until firm.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine sugar and flour. Stir in reserved pineapple juice until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat: cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat: cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into the egg: return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil: cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Cool.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth: add cooled filling. Fold in whipped cream, spread over gelatin. (dish will be full). Sprinkle with nuts and coconut.

Enjoy and
Happy Quilting,

Sounds good and I'd like to try it, but please tell us what size jelo (3 ounce boxes or 6 ounce boxes?) and what size can of pineapple - 20 ounce can or the small flat one?

hazeljane

So sorry. I don't even have a recipe, so it didn't occur to me--
One large or 2 small boxes of Jello

Large can of crushed pineapple in juice. (20 oz or so).

Give it a shot. It's easy and yummy!
