Festive Holiday Salad

FESTIVE HOLIDAY SALAD
(original recipe from Grandma)

2 pkg (3oz) strawberry jello
1 C boiling water
1 pkg (10oz) frozen strawberries
1 large banana
1 can (8oz) crushed pineapple
1 can whole cranberry sauce

Combine jello and water.  When jello is dissolved at strawberries and stir until berries thaw.  Add banana, pineapple (undrained) and cranberry sauce.  Pour half of jello mixture in a 9x13 pan and cool quickly.  Don't cool the other half.  When it is fairly firm (but the other half is not firm) spread sour cream on top of of the chilled half.  Pour rest of the jello mixture over the sour cream layer and refrigerate till firm.

NOTE
Can use a thick whipping cream instead of sour cream for a dessert like taste.  Also use raspberry jello and frozen raspberries for a change.
