Strawberry Nut Salad



INGREDIENTS:

2 small (or 1 large) pkg. strawberry gelatin

1 cup boiling water

2 packages frozen sliced strawberries

3 bananas, mashed

1 (No. 2) can crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup broken walnuts

1 pint sour cream (I don't use this much.)

Topping:

1/3 cup sugar

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons butter

2 beaten eggs

1 cup pineapple juice

1 cup heavy cream or 1 pkg. Dream Whip

DIRECTIONS:

1. Dissolve jello in hot water; stir in thawed strawberries
and juice, pineapple, banana and nuts. Pour 1/2 mixture
in 9 x 13 pan or large mold; refrigerate until firm,
about 1 1/2 hours. Spread with sour cream, then spoon gently
the remaining mixture and refrigerate. For topping, combine
sugar, flour, and egg; stir in pineapple juice. Cook over low
heat, stirring constantly until thick; remove from heat. Add
butter and cool. Then fold in the cream that has been whipped
(or the Dream Whip prepared according to package directions).
Can be put on jello salad ahead of time. Optional: Top with
shredded mild cheddar cheese.
