    Yummy! I think I'm addicted!
    However, it is very sweet, so I think next time I'll try it with more strawberries and less pineapple and see if that tones it down a little.

    I made this recipe exactly as indicated and it was out of this world! My family LOVED it! I've not had as hard a time with a new recipe so far to keep myself from eating the whole thing before I even put it on the table! Family already asking for more. Grandma Luetta was some kinda genius! - 11/28/07

    Very good! I used cranberry jello with raspberries and tropical fruit, and it was a perfect salad for Thanksgiving dinner! Thanks for sharing! - 11/22/07
