Strawberry Cheese Salad

Mama has made this dessert/salad many times and it is very colorful and really good. She got this recipe from her sister. Many jello-salads are lame, but this one is an exception. Lol.

  (Aunt Teresa Phillips)

1 pkg (3 oz) strawberry flavored gelatin

1 cup boiling water

10 oz sliced sugared frozen strawberries or fresh strawberries

1 medium can crushed pineapple

1 cup sour cream

1 pkg (3 oz) cream cheese

½ cup nuts (optional)

Combine gelatin in boiling water. Stir until dissolved and add the fruit. Spoon half into an 8 inch square pan and chill until set. Then add sour cream and cream cheese. Then add another layer of jello and fruit mixture that is partly set. Double for a large crowd.
