This is a delicious Jello dessert with a couple of surprises in it. It is sometimes called a salad, but as you'll see, it's really an interesting dessert with an awesome flavor.
Mix sugar and pineapple in small saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring. Remove from heat. Set aside and allow to cool.
Add 1 cup boiling water to lemon Jello and stir to dissolve. Stir in pineapple-sugar mixture. Allow to thoroughly cool. Stir in shredded cheese and chopped pecans. Refrigerate. Allow to congeal slightly, then stir in Cool Whip. Refrigerate 4-6 hours or until ready to serve.
This can be really dressed up for a party by adding a swirl of whipped cream to the top of each serving. Add a maraschino cherry and a mint leaf or two.

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and water in saucepan. Cook until thick and clear. Add jello and stir until dissolved. Use as a filling in pies or as a topping for cream cakes.
Lovely on a hot summer's day; just serve with cream or ice cream.
Add boiling water to gelatin. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Add can of pineapple with juice. Refrigerate until mixture is fairly set. Fold in finely grated cheese and Cool Whip.
Drain the pineapple and reserve the juice. Add water to make 1 cup, heat until mixture is boiling. Dissolve the jello in the boiling liquid. Cool. Stir in ginger ale slowly. Chill until partly set.
This is a very simple but classy desert. Would be great after a candlelit dinner. The ingredients are for 2, 4, 6, depends how you build it.
This is a great and quick dessert. You take one large Jello gelatin, any kind you like, one container of Cool Whip, 1 container of cottage cheese, the smaller size, and about a cup of cut up nuts.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the boiling water and 1 package of Jello. Stir until dissolved. Add 1 of the cut quarters of ice cream to the Jello and stir until it melts.
This is one of my children's favorites: Add recommended amount of boiling water to jello to dissolve. In place of cold water, add an equal amount of orange sherbert. Stir to dissolve. Place in refrigerator.
This is an apricot lover's dream. You can also add chopped pieces of apricot, if you would like, though the recipe does not call for that.
Easy, cool, no bake, low calorie, even good for breakfast.
Recipe for Jeweled Jello Dessert. In a small bowl dissolve strawberry, grape, lime and orange gelatin each separately in 1 cup boiling water each. Cool, then add 1/2 cup cold water to each and pout into loaf pans 8x5x3 inch coated with nonstick spray.
Melt the jelly and mix the crushed pineapple into it. Dissolve the gelatin in 1 cup of the juice from the pineapple.
