I love this recipe!  My Mother-in-law always made it for Thanksgiving and Christmas so it is extra special as well as tasty!

Ingredients:

1 6 oz package of lime Jello
16 oz can of tidbit pineapple pieces
1 cup of marshmallows
1 pint of whipping cream
2 spoons of sugar
1 cup of cottage cheese
3/4 cup of pecans

Drain the pineapple juice into measuring cup add enough water to = 1 1/2 cups.  Heat on stove until Jello is dissolved.  Take off the stove let cool down to a warm temperature, add the pineapple in then 1 cup of marshmallows until slightly melted. In the meantime whip up the 1 pint of whipping cream by adding about 2 spoons of sugar until firm.

Take the Jello liquid when cooled and add 1 cup of cottage cheese, 3/4 cups of pecans and then fold in the whipping cream last.   Put in the fridge to chill and you will have an awesome dessert for your Thanksgiving feast!
