The jello salad looked really refreshing and light . I bet mixing a 1/2 cup or so of chopped pecans would really be good in it also just a thought ! Enjoy your videos ! Take care!
For a little girls birthday party: Put some muffin cups in a muffin pan. Sprinkle the bottoms with crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers. Make your basic goop with strawberry Jello and strawberry soda. Add some chopped and blotted strawberries to the semi set goop. Pile into muffin cups. Chill. Top with cream and a strawberry slice.
We make a similar vintage lime jello recipe, but it’s a more savory salad called “Watergate salad” after the infamous Nixon watergate incident. That one uses cottage cheese instead of whipped topping, and pecans or walnuts along with the pineapple, but the secret ingredient is a teaspoon or so of creamed horseradish. It’s a very unique, delicious side salad!
I remember this when I was a kid my parents would have a pool party and everybody brought a dish and one of my mom's friends would bring this one and I loved it
This recipe takes me back! My aunt made this but she added mini marshmallow! 🙃 Either way I know it’s delicious! Thank you for the recipe and I will be making it! 😃 love your channel!
I have made this many years ago, it is great. My wife had diabetes and a touchy stomach so I made her a jello dessert she could enjoy. Very simple, I took sugar free flavored jello and used the quick set method to bloom the jello using a large bowl on my stand mixer and wisking attachment on high adding one container of sugar free coolwhip. As it whipped it would start to set and get vary airy. Then place into 4 empty coolwhip container, refrigerated for at least one hour before serving. This is lite and very tasty. Just sharing.
This looks awesome. I think I’m going to add the whole can of Crushed pineapple since we love it here. And I may add some shredded or flaked coconut. The coconut will absorb any extra liquid from the drained pineapple. I may add some chopped pecans as well. To finish I will frost the Jell-O salad with the whip cream and sprinkle a little extra coconut flakes on top. Can’t wait to try this My mother served a similar dessert every Thanksgiving when I was growing up. Except it didn’t have the lemon lime soda. And, instead of whipped cream, she added a cup of mayonnaise, along with the crushed pineapple and chopped nuts. And, of course, she had to serve it as a molded salad using her trusty Tupperware Jell-O mold.😉👍🏼
PS I just remembered that instead of 6 ounces of lime Jell-O, my mom used a 3-ounce package of lime Jell-O and A 3 ounce package of lemon Jell-O. That combo would definitely work with your recipe. PPS your video was extremely complete in the directions and cautions and suggestions. Unlike some we see here on RU-vid. Nicely done!👍🏼
Thank you !! Thinking about refrigerating this in cupcake tins with the toppings on top...for me and all my co- workers and boss to enjoy in the back of the kitchen!! Can't wait.!!
Love them too. I love the old cookbooks that were from the mid-century 50's-70's. They had menu ideas and grids on how much of each staple item you needed to keep stocked depending on the number of people in your family. They made things the hard way..no microwave or immersion blender in that kitchen. They actually knew how to cook like Julia childs
My husband always got the pineapple juice I drained off .. he loved it.. I have made similar jello salads.. it’s been awhile.. I bet adding chopped pecans in it would be good too..
Definitely would make my own whipped cream. I would use entire 8 oz of cream cheese and the entire can of pineapple. Cherries i would use my pull chopper sprinkle on top
I will definitely try this one. I make a similar one with orange jello and instead of cream cheese I use cottage cheese and along with the pineapple I add mandarin oranges drained. Make it all the time for family dinners because my son and I love it.
My Mom made that in the 60s but as a pie with graham cracker crust and saved some of the crumbs for the top after spreading real whipped cream on it. This was always a wonderful for summer. Thanks for reminding me of this treat.
Looks very delicious😋 and i love every one’s comments! I really need to give this a try, and i would like to say, how about squeezing fresh lime into it, and some lime zest. I love lime! 😂 Also instead of cherries use some sliced lime candies for decoration. Thank you for sharing you videos. I always enjoy them.
My mother-in-law always made this at Christmas time and sometimes Thanksgiving also but she added a handful of pecan pieces to it and then didn't finish the top off with whipped cream she added a small box of red Jello on the top and she would slice it up and it was one of those nice sweet but light desserts along with the holiday meal that you like to have a long way. Thank you very much for sharing
Looks and sounds delicious! Sounds like a super dessert for an Easter buffet😊 I wonder how peach jello would taste with the pineapple... Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I love that in the south is called "salad" 😂😂😂 🥗🍅🥗 no vegetables in sight. I'm going to try pineapple jello pineapple crushed cherries halved,pecans I'll let you know. I just made that up on the fly...
Thank you for sharing! Back long ago, before I was born, my grandfather worked for South Western Bell. He and his crew would travel to different destination to work. Since they stayed in places for weeks at a time, they would rent a house and my grandmother did the cooking and cleaning. She was given a budget to buy the food. It wasn't always easy to make that money go very far. She told me that one evening, she was trying to figure out what to make. So, she made a big pot of grits. Along with that she had some chili. She took and put a heaping spoonful of grits, put hot chili on top of the grits. To that she added shredded cheese, and chopped onion. Well, she served this to the men that evening, and it was a hit. It tastes like enchiladas!!! She has passed, but her "mock enchiladas" are still a big hit around our house.
you know what else is great in that is a little bit of creme de menthe syrup half a teaspoon to teaspoon or to your liking also inside of your dessert put coconut and chop cherries as well that's really delicious too
I have had this with several variations like: mini marshmallows, coconut, chopped maraschino cherries mixed in (usually for Christmas), and chopped pecans. Also, instead of cream cheese, I have had it with cottage cheese. It was always great in all of its variations.
My grandmother made this when I was child . She'd add marshmallows and chopped walnuts . She would also make it with cherry jello also for the 4th of July. Good memories in Galveston Texas...for sure 👍
This is a perfect summer treat! 🤗 I only ever have cherry Jell-O on hand. So that's the flavor I'll be using! 😋 But I don't have 7up. In fact, the only soft drink I currently have is Cherry Pepsi. I wonder how that would work....🤔 I'm definitely going to try this. So good for these warm days coming up!. Thanks for sharing another great recipe! 🥰
I have some green lime jello packets but thinking of using for Halloween, with names like 'Frankenstein brain " (using a jello brain mold) or maybe "Witch's brew jello" with licorice spiders and stuff like that, and also maybe use the whipped cream and cherry topping variation to look like eyeballs.
My mother made a version of this where she would make the lime jellow then add pinapple and bananas cut up, pour that into a pan and let it set then she made a topping of the reserved pineapple juice thickened with coolwhipp added then top the jellow with it. I wish I had her recipe. I used to just eat the topping off the jellow. Drove her crazy.
I've been looking for a recipe like this. I sometimes buy lime whip or orange whip from a local food prep business and I always wondered how it was made. This sounds pretty close. I can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks, Catherine, for another great recipe and thanks, Thomas, for the quality check to let us know how it tastes.
I make this every Easter and add mini marshmallows too. My Mom always made it with orange or lemon jello which I have switched it up over the years but end up back to lime. Thanks for sharing Catherine.🙂❤
Same! As a 70’s baby, I also grew up with my mom making this lime jello salad a lot, but I don’t remember her adding 7-Up Or cherries on top either, but she did load up on the chopped pecans and mini marshmallows, which are really good. I’ve never made it myself because I don’t like pineapple in desserts, but I might try it by cutting the pineapple ad adding the maraschino cherries, along with the mini marshmallows and pecans! Yum!! 😋
Thank you for this one🙏🙏🙏 Childhood brought back to the kitchen with Love❤ Would NOT change a thing😍 Lime, pineapple& Cherry equals Heaven on earth! Love vintage recipes❤❤❤ They are getting more& more lost 😢 Nice to see them resurface.
I remember my Mom making this. She also added large curd Cottage cheese and then chopped Walnuts too go on the top whip cream. You brought back so many great memories Catherine. Thank You. God Bless.
Yum! My mom used to make something like this back in the day (60’s & 70’s) but added celery and walnuts too. It was one of her luncheon dishes for company. I think sometimes she also used cottage cheese, which gave it even more texture. Either way = scrumptious!!!
That is a really good recipe. I’m vintage and remember this, just wanted to tell you what happened the first time I made this recipe way back when. I boiled the water for the jello and the jello was already in a bowl, I poured the boiling water into the bowl and it shattered into hundreds of pieces. I guess is was a cheap glass bowl that was not tempered. Ah...memories. That sure was a mess. ❤ you have a great day.
