Lime Jello w/ cottage cheese
OK, I admit it. I'm a Jello dummy. I've always liked it, but
evidently not enough to actually make it. I haven't made a box of Jello in over 40 yrs. LOL... Anyway, I'm committed. I got the Jello, I got the cottage cheese. The water is hot and waiting. Now what? The problem is the water to Jello ratio of 2 cups per 3 oz of Jello powder indicated on the box. But, when I look on the web, most recipes say only 1 cup water per 3oz powder. I know there should be some lessening of liquid when fillers are added, but have no idea what the rule of thumb is. Let's hear it out there, you Jello junkies. How much water do I need for a 6oz box of Jello w/ 16 oz of pineapple-cottage cheese? nb |

I am reminded (sadly) of the lime jello recipe I found in a 1970's Southern Living cookbook which said to blend lime jello with canned tuna. Oh gross and yuk and hurl! Don't add that stuff to lime jello! Just don't do it! Jill |

I'm having mid-life flash backs to a time, real or imagined, when lime cottage cheese and red fruit cocktail Jello was a staple, even in restaurants. I may have a lovely experience or end up going, "What the Hell was I thinking!". But, I gotta do it. I bailed at the last minute the other night because the cottage cheese wasn't right. Some kinda runny oozy crap which I tossed even though it wasn't bad. Now I wonder if anyone even makes good cottage cheese anymore. I haven't eaten c/c in years and can't say why. I've always liked it. nb |

Eisenhower Salad (that's what they called it) 1 (16-oz) carton of cottage cheese 2 cups mayonaise 1 med. can crush pineapple (drained) 1 cup chopped walnuts 1 pkg (the small size) lemon jello 2 packages (small) lime jello Disolve the jello in 1 cup of hot water and 1 1/2 cups cold water. Add the cottate cheese and mayonaise. Mix well. Add the pineapple and walnuts. Mix again and refrigerate. When partially thickened (about 1/2 set), stir to prevent sinkers. Chill until fully set.

LOL Hopefully no one will have questions about the fine points of this. It's almost as bad as canned tuna in lime Jell-O. And this you cannot put in martini glasses and say it's okay! |

I'm not a fan of jello salads in general and I'm certainly not a fan of mayonnaise, but it's not as bad as you and Tammy seem to think it is. Like I said... it's a family recipe (I'm not making it up) and it appears at big family parties. Often, I'm the one who makes it these days. -- See return address to reply by email |

How much water do I need for a 6oz box > of Jello w/ 16 oz of pineapple-cottage cheese? > > nb Do you have a recipe you're following? The basic premise as I remember it was to dissolve the gelatin (a 3 oz package) in 1 cup boiling water (or fruit juice if things were going that way), stirring until dissolved. Then you'd add the cold liquid (usually water, maybe fruit juice or soda), in whatever amount the recipe called for, and chill until it was the consistency of egg whites; then add the other ingredients (cottage cheese, vegetables, fruit cocktail, whatever direction you were headed). Chill. I remember a shortcut to the basic procedure, too. Do the boiling liquid thing and for the second cup of water, instead stir in 6-8 ice cubes, stirring until the gelatin began to thicken. Remove the unmelted ice and proceed to whatever destination the train is going. I haven't seen that method on the boxes for years, though; it speeded up the setting time considerably. If you're hellbent on reducing the liquid due to the addition of extra ingredients, reduce the cold water by 1/4 cup. If you think your cottage cheese is too wet, dump it in a dish towel and wring out some of the liquid. And don't listen to Tammasita, fercryin'outloud! I want a report. Since you don't know what you're doing, a recipe to follow might be nice for you. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ "Maligning an individual says more about you than the one you malign." http://web.mac.com/barbschaller - blahblahblog - 12/3, Christmas Cookies!; Barcelona 12-2 (you might have to scroll down to find it. http://jamlady.eboard.com |

I've never made it, but I've eaten it and it tastes pretty good. I don't understand people and Jello, I guess. Here's one of my favorites, and if I make it for the family, they make fun of me and then clean it all up. Lime Jello Salad Put 16 big marshmallows and 1 C. milk into top of double boiler over simmering water. Stir until the marshmallows are melted and incorporated into the milk. Sprinkle 1 small package of lime Jello into the hot mixture, and stir until dissolved. Add 2, 3-oz. pkg. of cream cheese, cut into small bits. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and mixed in. You might have to remove the mixture from the stove to prevent burning. Add in one # 2 can of crushed pineapple WITH juice. Mix 1 C. whipping cream, whipped (use Cool Whip, if you want, it will be more stable) and 2/3 C. mayonnaise. Mix all together and chill until firm. Cut into squares and serve. N. |
