2 mellow apples, pared & diced
4 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup pecans, chopped

thickened gelatin; pour into a 6-cup mold which has been lightly
rubbed with mayonnaise. Chill until firm.

return to refrigerator until ready to serve.
Apple note: Golden Delicious apples are best in this recipe as they
hold their shape when baked.
