Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
9" x 13" baking dish
2 large box of strawberry jello (one box for each layer)
1½ cups boiling water with each box of jello (instead of 2 which the box calls for)
2 pkg of frozen and sliced strawberries (one package in each layer)
2 ripe banana mashed (use only in first layer)
Optional ¼ cup of pecans (I do not use)
1 can of crushed pineapple drained and then squeezed until most of the liquid is gone (use only in first layer)
1 tub of frozen slices and sweetened strawberries (use only in bottom layer)
2 boxes of frozen slices sweetened strawberries (use in top layer)
1 pint sour cream
Using half mixed in with first layer
Use the rest to spread over the first layer after congealed

Directions:
Directions:
Mix together bananas, pecans(optional), very dry crushed pineapple in a bowl - for the first layer use one large box of jello and 1½ cups of boiling water – take out some of the jello and put in a separate container and mix with the ½ of the sour cream until all lumps are gone.mix jello and sour cream mix together. I put the frozen strawberries in the microwave for a little so that they are partially thawed - then mix the strawberries in the bowl with the other fruit - now mix all the fruit into the jello mixture and stir until thoroughly mixed - the jello at this point will start to congealing - I use a 9 x 13 baking dish and I pour all the mixed ingredients into this dish and cover it with saran wrap and put in refrigerator until completely congealed - remove from refrigerator and use the rest of the sour cream to spread over the congealed jello - for the top layer you use the other large box of strawberry jello and 1½ cups of boiling water. Again I use the 2 boxes of Birds Eye frozen strawberries to start the congealing process and then I pour it over the sour cream and refrigerate after covering it with saran wrap. When it is congealed it is ready to serve.

Personal Notes:
This recipe is for larger groups of people. You can use a smaller dish and the smaller boxes of jello and reduce other ingredients accordingly.
