Servings: persons

1-2/3 cup Crushed Pinapple (or One 13.5 Oz. Can)
2 packages (3 Oz. Package) Lemon-Flavored Gelatin (or One 6-Oz Package)
1 can (7 Oz.) Ginger Ale, Small Can
1 can Jellied Cranberry Sauce (16 Oz Can)
1 envelope (1.3 Oz.) Dream Whip Or Other Dessert Topping Mix
2 cups Ice Cold Milk (for The Dessert Topping Mix)
2 Tablespoons Vanilla Extract (fro Dessert Topping Mix)
1 package Cream Cheese Softened (8 Oz.)
1 cup Chopped Pecans
2 Tablespoons Butter Or Margarine

1
Drain pineapple, reserving syrup. (Use a large glass measuring cup to hold the syrup, leaving pineapple pieces in the can.)
2
Add water to the syrup to make 1 cup; heat in a sauce pan until mixture is boiling (you may have some pineapple pieces in the mixture).
3
Dissolve gelatin in hot liquid. Cool.
4
Gently stir in ginger ale. (This may bubble up, so be very gentle with this.) Pour liquid into a glass brownie pan or casserole dish. Chill until partially set.
5
In a medium mixing bowl, blend drained pineapple and cranberry sauce (I use a hand mixer for this to ensure complete blending). Fold into gelatin mixture. Chill until firm.
6
Prepare dessert topping with the milk and vanilla extract, according to package directions. Fold in cream cheese and blend well. Spread over gelatin.
7
Toast pecans in butter in a 350-degree oven, about 10 minutes. Spread over the top.
8
Chill and cut into squares.
