This is a recipe from the Legion Auxillary cookbook (1984) that my mother serves at family gatherings. Vary the jello for colour and flavour and it is a hit with all ages.
Ingredients:
white cake
1 can fruit cocktail, drained, cherries and juice reserved
1 package jello, any flavour
1 3-cup vanilla instant pudding with milk to prepare
whipped cream/coolwhip
Directions:
1. Cut cake and fill bowl 1/2 full with cake chunks.
2. Sprinkle fruit over cake pieces.
3. Prepare jello using 1/2 volume of liquid called for. Liquid should be reserved fruit cocktail juice plus water to make the difference.
4. Pour jello over cake and fruit.
5. Prepare pudding with milk and pour over rest of ingredients.
6. Allow to set in refrigerator.
7. Top with whipped cream or cool whip and reserved cherries.
