Jellos!! It's the time of year (Memorial Day weekend) when I think of all those great jellos I had as a kid back in the Midwest. Does anyone have some real goodies? To start things off, here's one from my mom's collection. Yum!

Bring the pineapple, juice, sugar, and water to boil. Add jello and stir until dissolved. Chill until it starts getting thick, then add the Dream Whip, cream cheese, and pecans. Mix well, then chill well. It turns out fluffy. I leave out the sugar and substitute no-fat cr. Cheese and it turns out just fine.

Note for those who don't know the mysteries of "jello": it's flavored gelatin; I don't know what the equivalent of Dream Whip is; it's a dehydrated non-dairy substitute for whipped cream that has been in Midwest U.S. kitchens for a long time!
