Description

What do you do when it is the middle of January and you’ve used up all of your homemade strawberry-champagne jam and all of the strawberries at the store are harder than rocks and as sour as lemons? You make this and SUDDENLY everything is sunshine and lollipops.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (6 Oz. Package) Strawberry Jell-O
  • 1-½ cup Boiling Water
  • 1 container (16 Oz. Container) Sliced Strawberries With Sugar, Thawed
  • 1 can (8.25 Oz. Can) Crushed Pineapple, Drained
  • ½ cups Finely Chopped Pecans, Toasted
  • 1 cup Sour Cream

Preparation

The saddest period in my life was when I was vegan and I couldn’t eat this.

Dissolve the Jell-O in the boiling water. Add the strawberries (undrained) and stir gently. Chill until slightly thickened. Stir in pineapple (drained) and the pecans. Pour 2 cups of the mixture into a 9 x 13 dish. Chill in fridge. Fold sour cream into remaining mixture and pour over the partially set Jell-O. Chill until firmly set.

Instead of pouring into a Pyrex dish, you could divide it between 8 custard cups. Alternatively, you could cut it into little tiny squares and serve it in little tiny cups. You might just want to eat it out of the pan with a spoon, like I do.

Top with Cool Whip if you dare!

I love you, Mom, for a lot of reasons. I really love you for making this for every potluck and family function. I’m so glad you didn’t make me eat things like green bean casserole and potato salad. You and your recipe rock!
