Recipe(tried): Peter Pan Salad

Here's a recipe for a wonderful Jell-O salad that my late aunt used to make. I took it from a much stained and well used back of an old envelope. Of course, the sugar free Jell-O and Cool Whip Lite are upgrades to today's more healthful ingredients.

PETER PAN SALAD
In Memory of my aunt, Anna Mae Weydert

9 x 13 pan
Oven temperature, 350 degrees

28 graham cracker squares (14 full crackers)
1/3 cup sugar
1 stick margarine, softened
2 packages strawberry Jell-O (I use sugar free)
1/4 cup cold water
1 package Knox Gelatin
1/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup sugar
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple, well drained
1/2 of an 8 oz. carton Cool Whip Lite
2 cups mini marshmallows

Make crumbs and mix in sugar and margarine. Press into pan and bake 10 minutes at 350.

Make two packages of strawberry Jell-O according to package directions(I use sugar free.) and refrigerate.

Mix 1/4 cup cold water and 1 package of Knox Gelatin. When dissolved, add 1/4 cup hot water. When cooled, add to the sugar, crushed pineapple,Cool Whip Lite, and mini marshmallows. Spread fruit mixture over cooled crust and refrigerate.

When Jell-O will stick to spoon, pour over top of fruit mixture and refrigerate until firm.

Cut in squares and serve.
