Thanks to everyone who came! These recipes are from our meeting on November 8th at Loralee's house.

Raspberry Pretzel Salad

Crust:  2 c. crushed pretzels

              4 Tbsp. sugar

              1 cup melted butter

Middle:  8 oz. cream cheese

                 1 c. sugar

                 2 c cool whip (or two cups of homemade whipped cream)

Top:     1 large package of raspberry JELL-O

              12 oz box frozen raspberries (sweetened)

              16 oz crushed pineapple

                1 c boiling water

Mix together pretzels, butter, and 4 Tbsp. of sugar, Pat into a 9x13 pan, Bake for 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven,  cool completely

When cool, add next (middle) layer (which consists of cream cheese, sugar, and cool whip mixed together).

Dissolve JELL-O with 1 cup boiling water.  Add the 16 oz of crushed pineapple with all its juice.  Add frozen raspberries.  This mixture should be cool before gently pouring/spooning on top of middle layer.

Set in refrigerator until firm

Note:  When adding the layer and mixture of cream cheese, be sure to seal and cover the mixture to the sides of the pan.  This will prevent the JELL-O mixture from seeping down into the other layers when added.
