Lemon Jello Salad

Mom requested that I put this one on the blog...it's easy and pretty yummy.

1 small can crushed pineapple
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 small package lemon jello
1 cup miniature marshmallows
3 bananas cut up
1 8-oz tub of Cool Whip

Boil pineapple and sugar together for 3 minutes. Boil 1 cup water and dissolve jello into it. Stir both mixtures together. Let set partially in fridge. Add marshmallows and bananas and fold cool whip into mixture. Refrigerate for 2-3 more hours.

Crescent Rolls

2 1/2 cups warm milk with 2 TBS dry yeast
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup oil
1 Tbs. salt (I use a about 2 tsp. )
Stir together and add 2 beaten eggs. Add 6 1/2 cups flour. (I usually have to add more flour). Knead. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide into 4 batches.
Roll into circle and brush with butter. Cut into 12 . Roll each section up. Repeat for other 3 batches.
Let rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
Makes 4 dozen.

This is the recipe I got from Madge Rich in the 16th Ward and have used for ages.
When I do this in my bread maker I use 1/2 a recipe and put the yeast in last in a little crater in the flour. I can get 2 dozen on one large cookie sheet.
