![]() I know you will all have wonderfully made dinners either by you or your well instructed off-spring. I have always liked it but haven’t had it in so long and thought it would be a nice addition to the table tomorrow. I told Margie, either you liked it as a child or you didn’t. ![]() Sorry Aunt Kathy! I just figured you would know, no idea it was the bane of your Thanksgiving dinner. Ha Ha! Margie called me so I am good to go. I think the thing my kids found most disgusting (yes, that's the right word Philip once took it outside to throw at his cousins) about it was that some of us even put a dollop of mayonnaise on top. I don't know whether my mom or grandma made it first, but we never had a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner without it. It's best with black, not English walnuts. Nettie, I like it enough to eat it all by myself, so have never worried about whether anyone else liked it. I said it has carrots and green olives and pecans. Liam asked on the way here if Grandma was going to have the green jello salad. But the best thing is that it's going into the new generation. But she said we had to have it and some of them actually finally like it. She sometimes stuffs the turkey with it.Įlaine, you are impossible! Monica asked if she should make it this year and I said no, no one likes it. I believe that's all they have at Thanksgiving. Her kids are quite crazy about it, and I think she worked many years perfecting it. (As if we were not already being entertained with a houseful of kids - seven kids ages seven and under.)Īunt Kathleen oughta know. The following emails arrived this evening and provided a bit of entertainment. Mom was delighted someone was asking for the recipe and called you immediatly. When you sent that email to our mom and our aunts today requesting the green jello salad Grandma used to make, we were in the middle of gathering the ingredients to make one for our Thanksgiving dinner. The kid in all of us will find it hard to refuse.Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!!!Ĭan one of you please let me know how Grandma used to make that lime Jell-O with olives carrots etc.? Or go further into dessert territory with a fluff salad, which combines cream cheese, marshmallows, cherry pie filling, whipped topping, and cherry gelatin. Or go sweet with Orange Sherbet Salad or Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Go savory with Ranch Tomato Aspic or a Jellied Chicken Salad. If Nana didn't pass her retro gelatin molds down to you, many of these congealed salads can be made in your Bundt pans or 13- by 9-inch baking dishes.Ĭreate holiday memories, continue traditions, and steal a few laughs with these incredible Jell-O salad recipes. Vintage gelatin molds come in all shapes and sizes, and they're so much fun to play around with. Love 'em or hate 'em, they'll definitely dress up your table and get people talking. And they can qualify as a side dish or dessert-or both-which is why they're a mainstay during the holiday season in the South. Some gelatin salads are intricately layered, others are fluffy and scoopable. They come in colors not found in nature, in shapes resembling fancy Easter hats, and in sizes ranging from casserole dishes to individual molds. Like many "salads" in the South, congealed ones aren't green and leafy.
