PINEAPPLE-CHEESE SALAD 
1 c. hot water
1 c. pineapple juice
1 (3 oz.) pkg. lime Jello
12 lg. marshmallows
1 c. crushed pineapple
1 d. diced celery (optional, I do not use this as John doesn't like it)
1 c. chopped nuts
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 c. whipping cream, whipped

Drain crushed pineapple, reserving juice. Add additional juice to make 1 cup. Mix juice, hot water, lime Jello and marshmallows in top of double boiler and stir until the marshmallows melt. Let cool in refrigerator until reaches consistency of egg whites.

Whip cream and set aside. Whip cream cheese and mayonnaise. Add to Jello mixture, beating with mixer until smooth. Fold in pineapple, celery and nuts. Then fold in whipped cream.

Put into 4 to 5 cup mold and chill until firm. Can be chilled in 13x9x2 inch pan and cut into squares. Serve on lettuce leaf. (For Christmas, decorate with green and red maraschino cherries halved and quartered.)
