1 ripe banana, sliced
2 tbsp. chopped cherries
1 (8 3/4 oz.) can crushed pineapple
2 c. cold rice
1 1/2 c. miniature marshmallows
1 c. whipping cream, whipped
1 pkg. lemon Jello
1 c. boiling water
1/2 c. sugar
Pecans or almonds, if desired

Drain pineapple, saving juice. Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Add pineapple juice to the water and allow it to thicken. When set, whip to a consistency of heavy cream. Add pineapple pulp to rice and fold into whipped Jello. Add sugar to whipped cream. Set in cold place to hold shape. May be served plain or with whipped cream garnished with cherries and nuts.
