-^-^-^-^-^-^- JELL-O -^-^-^-^-^-^-

As this marker points out Jell-O has been around for 110 years. The Jell-O plant in Mason City, Iowa produces America's entire supply of ready to eat Jell-O gelatin. As I am sure most of you know there are many ways in which Jello-O can be used in the kitchen. Below is a dessert, which is great for any occasion.

Ready in: 2-5 hours
Serves: 8

Ingredients:
1 package (3 oz. size) lime JELL-O
1 cup boiling water
1 can (9 oz. size) crushed pineapple, drain juice and reserve
1 (8 oz.) package of Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup whipping cream or evaporated milk, whipped
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions:
Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add pineapple juice. Fold in remaining ingredients. Chill until firm in a 1-quart or 1 1/2 quart Pyrex bowl, rectangular baking dish or a gelatin mold. ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
