Cranberry Jewel Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (1 lb) can cranberry sauce
1 (3 ounce) box strawberry Jell-O gelatin dessert
1 1/2 cups water, boiling
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 banana, diced
3 cups Cool Whip

Preparation

Place cranberry sauce in refrigerator overnight; it must be cold.
Dissolve Jell-O in boiling water; put in refrigerator.
Open cranberries; dice into bite size cubes; put back in refrigerator.
Mix cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and salt together with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
Stir in pineapple, banana, and cooled Jell-O.
Fold in Cool Whip.
Fold in cranberry chunks.
Pour into pan and chill overnight.
Cut into squares and serve on a lettuce leaf, or put into a mold. I have seen nuts put into this, and one recipe froze this.
