FRUIT SALAD WITH COTTAGE CHEESE AND JELLO RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large multi-cup measuring cup (I use my 4 cup Pyrex), add all of the reserved pineapple juice and then add enough water to the juice to make a total of 2 cups. Pour into pot and bring just to a boil.
• Add the lime Jell-o mixes to the boiling pineapple juice/water and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat, allow to cool just slightly.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the mayo and evaporated milk. Combine until very smooth. Slowly stir in the Jell-o mixture until all is incorporated with the mayo/milk mixture. Stir in the crushed pineapple, cottage cheese, and walnuts.
• Pour mixture into an 8×8″ glass casserole pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferred).

Steps:

• Combine jello and hot water; stir until jello is dissolved.
• Add enough cold water to pineapple juice to equal ½ cup and stir into the jello. Chill until partially set; then whip with a mixer. Set aside.
• In another bowl, beat the cream cheese. Add pineapple, beating briefly.
• Fold in Cool whip and nuts – then combine with the jello mixture and chill until firm.
