How to Make Strawberry Banana Gelatin Salad With Pecans

  1. In a medium bowl, sprinkle 1 (3 ounce) package of unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of water over medium heat. Slowly pour the hot water over the bloomed gelatin, stirring constantly until completely dissolved.
  3. Add 1/2 cup sugar to the gelatin mixture and stir until dissolved.
  4. Refrigerate until the gelatin is slightly set, but still pourable (about 30-45 minutes).
  5. While the gelatin chills, hull and slice 1 pound of fresh strawberries. Slice 2 ripe bananas into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  6. Roughly chop 1/2 cup of pecan halves.
  7. Gently fold the strawberries, bananas, and pecans into the slightly set gelatin.
  8. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch dish or individual serving dishes.
  9. Refrigerate until firm (at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight).
  10. Before serving, garnish each serving with 1 tablespoon of whipped cream, if desired.
