Ugh, now I see that I had read the recipe as 4 packages, not 1 four
serving size pack. With that (picky-see-correction) it now simply
seems that to make the amopunt I want could just be a doubling of all
the ingredients. I do think I remember being told by the hostess that
she used just a little less liquid than was cqalled for, and that the
recipe was on a Jello box! Thank you so, now I think I am set to make
this and will report back!

Here you go - from the Jell-O cookbook

1 four serving size Jello lime flavor
3/4 cup boiling water ( I'd use whatever juice from draining the pineapple
and add water as needed to equal 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup cold water
ice cubes
1 cup thawed CoolWhip
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple drained

Completely dissolve gelatin in boiling drained juice + water to equal 3/4
cup
Combine cold water and ice cubes to make 1 1/4 cups.
Add to gelatin stirring until thickened. Discard unmelted ice.
Add whipped topping blending until smooth.
Stir in pineapple. (you can add mandarin orange sections [drained], a cup of
mini marshmallows and/or 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans if you like)
Pour into serving bowl. Chill until set - about 2 hours.
The Jell-O book also tells how to use a mold. I'll be happy to give you
details if you like. Never any need around here. Polly

Mercy! I surely am glad you read the recipe a 2nd time. Polly
