Sunday Dinner - Jell-O Fruit Salad / Angel Food Delight

Mindy was kind enough to invite us to Sunday dinner today. I accepted, on the condition that I could bring the salad and dessert. Ulterior motives on my part to be sure. Check off two more recipes. I chose two recipes with Mother's addition of "Very Good" to the title. I think everyone liked them, and agreed that they were accurately labeled. Well, perhaps not everyone - I don't think Will liked the dessert. I should have picked something with chocolate chips in it. Next time, Will!

JELL-O FRUIT SALAD - VERY GOOD
2 packages lemon jello
1 No. 2 can crushed pineapple
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 pint whipping cream
4 bananas
Set jello with well drained pineapple (save juice), marshmallows. Add to juice enough water to make two cups. Heat, then mix 3 tbsp. cornstarch, 1/2 cup sugar and 2beaten eggs. Add some of hot juice to cornstarch and egg mixture and make a smooth paste, add a pinch of salt and add to juice. Stir until clear and thick. Cool. Whip cream and add to cooled sauce. Now slice bananas on top of set jello, then spread sauce over jello and bananas. Sprinkle nuts over top if desired and allow to set for a few hours for best flavor and setting up. Should be covered.
Lots of good stuff in this salad - but a little time consuming.
