This is a delicious Jello dessert with a couple of surprises in it. It is sometimes called a salad, but as you'll see, it's really an interesting dessert with an awesome flavor.
Mix sugar and pineapple in small saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring. Remove from heat. Set aside and allow to cool.
Add 1 cup boiling water to lemon Jello and stir to dissolve. Stir in pineapple-sugar mixture. Allow to thoroughly cool. Stir in shredded cheese and chopped pecans. Refrigerate. Allow to congeal slightly, then stir in Cool Whip. Refrigerate 4-6 hours or until ready to serve.
This can be really dressed up for a party by adding a swirl of whipped cream to the top of each serving. Add a maraschino cherry and a mint leaf or two.

This is a sweet tip especially here at Easter when you might like to serve pastel colored Jello. Make up large or small packages of Jello using only half the suggested amount of boiling water. Be sure to stir it really well so that it's completely dissolved.
Combine sugar, cornstarch, and water in saucepan. Cook until thick and clear. Add jello and stir until dissolved. Use as a filling in pies or as a topping for cream cakes.
Lovely on a hot summer's day; just serve with cream or ice cream.
Add boiling water to gelatin. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Add can of pineapple with juice. Refrigerate until mixture is fairly set. Fold in finely grated cheese and Cool Whip.
This is a very simple but classy desert. Would be great after a candlelit dinner. The ingredients are for 2, 4, 6, depends how you build it.
This is a great and quick dessert. You take one large Jello gelatin, any kind you like, one container of Cool Whip, 1 container of cottage cheese, the smaller size, and about a cup of cut up nuts.
Drain the pineapple and reserve the juice. Add water to make 1 cup, heat until mixture is boiling. Dissolve the jello in the boiling liquid. Cool. Stir in ginger ale slowly. Chill until partly set.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the boiling water and 1 package of Jello. Stir until dissolved. Add 1 of the cut quarters of ice cream to the Jello and stir until it melts.
This is one of my children's favorites: Add recommended amount of boiling water to jello to dissolve. In place of cold water, add an equal amount of orange sherbert. Stir to dissolve. Place in refrigerator.
This is an apricot lover's dream. You can also add chopped pieces of apricot, if you would like, though the recipe does not call for that.
Easy, cool, no bake, low calorie, even good for breakfast.

Does anyone out there have the recipe for Cranberry Fluff - About 30/35 years ago I had a recipe for a salad called cranberry fluff. It contained fresh cranberrys, walnuts, mini marshmallows and red jello, among other things. It just filled the old Tupperware Wonderlier bowl. I lost the recipe years ago and have been trying to find it again. Thank you for your help.
