JEROME'S FAVORITE NO-BAKE PINEAPPLE CHEESECAKE
 

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter into the graham cracker crumbs. Press 2 cups of the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9 x13 inch pan. Save the rest of the crumbs for topping. Dissolve the lemon Jello in boiling water and set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together. Stir in the dissolved Jello and pineapple. In a separate bowl, whip the evaporated milk. Fold into the cream cheese mixture, then pour it all into the graham cracker covered pan. Chill for 4 hours. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the top. Keep left-overs refrigerated.

Note: This recipe was a favorite of Jerome's often made by his Grandma Red.
