How to Make Maggie's Heavenly Hash

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 (3 ounce) package of jello with 1 cup of boiling water and 1/2 cup of cold water. Stir until the jello is completely dissolved.
  2. Let the jello mixture stand at room temperature until it reaches the consistency of egg whites – slightly thickened but still pourable. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the jello mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Add 1 (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple, including its juice, and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans to the jello mixture.
  6. Gently fold in the pineapple and pecans until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the mixture into a serving bowl or individual dessert dishes.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. Serve chilled on angel food cake slices for an extra touch of elegance.
