Lemon Jello Fruit Salad

I don't know why they call Jello and fruit a salad. This is one of my favorites, though. I would call it a dessert, it is so good.

Ingredients:

• 1 large (6 oz.) pkg. lemon Jello
• 1 can crushed pineapple, drain and reserve juice
• 4 bananas, chopped
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1/4 cup drained, diced maraschino cherries
• 1 pkg. Dream Whip
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. flour

Directions:

Prepare Jello according to package directions. Add the pineapple, bananas, nuts, and cherries. When it is starting to gel, mix well and chill in a serving dish.

Prepare Dream Whip as directed on package.

In a medium size saucepan, mix pineapple juice reserved from can, the egg, sugar, and flour, and cook like a pudding, on medium low heat, stirring often, until it thickens like a pudding. Cool, and then combine with the Dream Whip. Spread this on top of the chilled Jello salad.

The topping makes the salad really special.
