Pineapple Delight

Base: Heat 1 small can crushed pineapple (I drain a little juice off) with 1/3 cup sugar. Add 2 egg yolks, then add 1 tablespoon gelatine (soaked in 2 tablespoons orange and 2 tablespoons lemon juice). Stir until dissolved and cool. Whip up 2 egg whites and 1 tablespoon sugar, add to fruit mixture. Lastly add 1 mashed banana. Pour into 2 greased 11" x 11" plastic containers. Set. (I use the large cold cut keeper instead of 2 containers and that makes it higher).

Top: Whip up 1 can (14 oz.) chilled carnation milk, adding 1/4 cup sugar. Add 1 tablespoon lemon rind and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. (I do not add lemon rind). Lastly, add 1 lemon or pineapple jelly (made with 1 cup pineapple juice, then cooled). Pour over set base. Decorate with whipped cream, nuts, etc. Best made 24 hours before required.

Serves 24 persons.
