Old Fashion lime jell-o salad
This recipe was Mother Maxine’s Treat for our Christmas Dinners for years.
Sadly, Mother Maxine is not with us anymore, so we wanted to keep the tradition going. I searched her Recipe book and this was the recipe I found. For some reason she omitted mayo recently but I applied the original recipe. Ingredients: 2 Pkg (3 oz ea.) Lime Jell-O 1 C liquid (1/2 C pineapple juice +1/2 water) 1 C crushed pine apple in can. (One can is too much just take 1 C out of it) 1 C light mayonnaise 1 C evaporated milk 1 C small curd cottage cheese 1/2 C chopped walnut Maraschino cherries Green candied cherries to decorate Making: Add both packs of the lime Jell-O in a mixing bowl Add 1/2 of boiling water and dissolve mixing the Jell-O until liquid gets clear Add cold 1/2 pine apple juice keep mixing until mixture homogenized In and another bowl bring mayonnaise and evaporated milk together and mix well until it gets smooth Add Mayo and milk mixture into the Jell-O, mix really well Add crushed pine apple and cottage cheese mix it until all combined well. Add chopped walnut, mix well Pour the Jell-O mix into a 8X8 size dish.
