This delicious dessert is straight from the kitchen of my Nenaw, Mary Marcom. When I was a kid, we lived in Arkansas, and my Nenaw and Papa lived in Texas. So we only got to see them about twice a year. So whenever we came there, she spoiled us. This was one of the ways she did that. My mother says she remembers it as comfort food. When I decided to make it, I figured someone must have made it before, but I never found this exact recipe, so I asked Mom for it and here it is. It's really awesome. The recipe talks about whipping cream, but I cheat and use coolwhip. It also says three fourths pounds vanilla wafers, but I figure 11 ounces. is close enough, so I just said one box. I also used a little more than a cup of pineapple, and one of those little packages of chopped pecans. So it's probably more like three fourth cup. But I figure more of both is better anyway.
