Strawberry Patch Salad


Ingredients:

1) 1 package (4-serving size) strawberry-flavored gelatin

2) 1 cup boiling water

3) 1 (10-ounce) package frozen sweetened strawberries in syrup,

thawed and syrup reserved

4) 1 (8- ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

5) 1 ripe banana, mashed

6) 1/2 cup chopped pecans

7) 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water. Stir in

the strawberries and their syrup, the pineapple, banana, and pecans until

well mixed.

2. Spoon half of the mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish and

chill for about 1 hour, or until set; reserve the remaining gelatin mixture

at room temperature.

3. When the chilled gelatin is set, spread the top with the sour cream,

then top with the reserved gelatin mixture. Cover and chill for at least 3

hours before serving.
