This is a refreshing jello salad that is a staple of our family get togethers. This is a recipe from my Grandmother. We now joke about making this jello months in advance (don't do it!!), because my Grandmother brought it for a family dinner and said she had made it weeks before - we could not eat it, but did not have the heart to tell her. It was the beginning signs of Alzheimer's :( for her. I hope she is not spinning in her grave since I am sharing this recipe. We miss her and think of her when we have this jello for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups water |
3 (3 ounce) boxes lime gelatin |
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple |
8 ounces brick cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup milk |
1 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. Dissolve gelatin in 2 1/4 cup boiling water.
2. Drain pineapple and add 1/4 cup of the pineapple liquid to the gelatin mixture.
3. Add pineapple to gelatin.
4. Pour into 9 x 13 glass casserole and refrigerate until soft set.
5. Mix the softened cream cheese and milk together until combined.
6. Add the nuts to cheese/milk mixture.
7. Mix the jello mixture and cream cheese mixture together.
8. Refrigerate overnight and cut into squares to serve.
