Grandma Shore's Lemon Jello Salad

This is a Thanksgiving must with the Shore family.
It's very refreshing and light for warm weather as well.
It's so good you could even serve it as dessert.
Actually, there is no wrong time to serve this salad.
(I use the word salad very loosely here.)
1 pkg. (3oz.) lemon jello
1 cup crushed pineapple
16 small marshmallows (a handful or so will do)
2 sliced bananas
1 cup drained pineapple juice (add water if needed)
3 Tbl. lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tbl. flour
1 Tbl. butter
1 egg
1/8 tsp. salt

Stir together all ingredients in sauce pan. Cook on medium heat until thick. Pour into 13x9" dish and cool.
Whip 1/2 cup whipped cream, sugar and vanilla. Spread over top of cooled jello. Grate American cheese over whipped cream.

-I can usually get away with just dumping a whole can of pineapple juice and all, without measuring separately for the juice. Be sure to mix ingredients well before it thinkens or you'll have cooked egg in your jello. Also cover any leftovers so the cheese doesn't dry out.
