This has been a family favorite for generations, served at every Thanksgiving dinner, and often at Christmas too. When Grandma Stephens first made this the miniature marshmallows hadn't been invented yet. She would take the large marshmallows and chop each one into little bits, which sounds a lot easier than it is! If you aren't a big consumer of marshmallows, have the kids use the remainder of the package to make strings for the Christmas tree.
1 lg. box lemon jello (or 2 small)
1 pint whipping cream
3/4 c. sugar
2 large Delicious apples, diced
2 large bananas, diced
1 8 oz. jar maraschino cherries, sliced in halves
1 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
1 c. chopped nuts
about 24 mini marshmallows
1 T. vanilla flavoring
Make the jello up in a large bowl according to directions on the box. Place in refrigerator. When it starts to set up whip to a froth. Fold in the fruits, nuts and marshmallows. Whip the cream, adding sugar gradually, then the vanilla. Fold whipped cream into the mixture. Allow to set overnight.
Serves 15 or more.
