Gramma Ginevie's Pacific Jello Salad



Etiquette isn't just about knowing which table implement to use. It's primarily about making others feel warm and fuzzy and comfortable; and nothing does this better than by observing family holiday traditions.


This is a gone-by-the-wayside recipe my family used to love at Thanksgiving.  It's a bit more tropical than the standard horseradish/cottage cheese/nut version.

Ingredients
  • 1 Cup boiling water  
  • 1 pkg (6 oz.) lime gelatin
  • 1 (9 oz.) can pineapple rings, drained
  • Juice from canned pineapple
  • 1 large banana mashed
  • 1 Cup heavy cream, whipped
Directions
  1. Dissolve gelatin in water
  2. Add pineapple juice
  3. Chill until slightly thickened
  4. Beat until frothy
  5. Fold in mashed banana then whipped cream
  6. Chill until set
  7. Unmold onto a plate lined with lettuce leaves
  8. Garnish around base with halved pineapple rings
Serves 6
