    My mother made Watergate salad with lime Jell-O, cottage cheese, pineapple and pecans.
    My grandmother would usually make a variety of Jell-O with encased canned pear halves and/or shredded carrots. She'd always serve it with a dollop of mayonnaise. Somehow, it worked well together.
    I've not eaten either Jell-O salad in decades.

      My-T- Fine pudding was the staple dessert in our house. Yes, we had Jell-O, but thankfully, we kept it plain served with whipped cream.

    My mom still makes "green salad" for Thanksgiving and Christmas! She doesn't add coconut, but it is lime jello, cream cheese, mayo and pineapple and we top it with either whipped cream or mayo, it has long been either a love/hate part of the menu, but I love it!

      @aydenwoyus7943 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The jello recipe I used to eat didn’t any cream cheese or mayo, it was transparent. But that sounds very good to me, I’d be on the side looking forward to the “green salad!”

    I was born and raised in Europe therefore Jell-O was not a thing to me until I came to the USA.
    I have been always fascinated by vintage lifestyle, especially when it comes to cooking and I read a lot about American cooking style from the past.
    Jell-O was a staple and considered quite a fancy ingredient while entertaining. I Love history!

    @nancyevans822 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Boy! Does this ever bring back the memories… thanks, Kevin. As a child of the 60’s and 70’s, jello was definitely a “thang.” So you remember the jello that divides into 3 or 4 different layers after it set? Early 70’s I believe. So delicious! 😂

    This looks great! My 8 year old grandson will love it because he loves sherbet. My Mom made a jello salad that was a hit in the 70’s. It had strawberry jello, frozen strawberries dissolved in it, bananas, pecans and a middle layer of sour cream. I think some people added pineapple to it…not sure. Thanks for the memories!

    They used to make that at MCL cafeteria’s in Indiana in the 1960’s and 1970’s. I LOVED it! They cut it into bricks about 3 inches high and topped with whipped cream. They had green, orange and pink. They had a version that had cottage cheese mixed in and it was fabulous! Thanks for the lovely memory.

  • @bren6967
    @bren6967 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thank you so much. I have spent the last two days looking for this exact recipe. Should have searched TH-cam first. If I am remembering correctly, my mom would blend in only 6ozs of cream cheese. The remaining 2ozs were smashed it in to very tiny chunks, spread out on a small plate, and refrigerated. After refrigerating the Jello mix for about an hour, she would gently stir in the 2ozs of chunked cream cheese and refrigerate until set. Those tiny burst of cream cheese were heavenly.

    I grew up in the 60's. My mom made jello cake. Which, i still make. My grandma use to make a lime jello/pineapple/cream cheese with cherries in it. I would ask for it every year for thanksgiving/christmas. Loved it. Still do. :D I am going to give this orange jello dessert this weekend. Sounds amazing.

Somehow I grew up making all types of Jell-0 recipes I gather from antys, friends, or bookrecipes, and now website.. However this one is new to me, it's different diversion..

    My mother was not fond of jello desserts. However there were times her work had dinners or gatherings. Someone would make green jello with carrots in it. I used to ask my mom find out how they made it. She would not because she didn’t like it. I remember they called t aspic salad. It tasted so good to me. Thanks for sharing

    That looks similar to a dessert I've been making for 40 years using whipped cream, orange sherbet and either orange or apricot jello.I'm going to try your recipe using lemon as I have been craving lemon sherbet and can't find it in any supermarket anymore. Thanks for posting this recipe

  • @MissMiyakosKitty

    I think my parents' generation just missed the jelly and jello craze. Although my grandparents always did have packets of jelly and the like in storage. Rarely, if ever used after the grandkids came along, I feel.
    My granny passed away last year and as we cleaned out her kitchen cupboards, indeed what we found was a bunch of (very old!!) boxes and packets of jelly and custard desserts. After watching you make this, I'm very tempted to find me some jello and try my hand at it. Looks lovely!!

  • @michaelgray1123

    Thank you for this recipe! I'm going to make it for Thanksgiving and want to put it in a graham crust. My Grandma would make Jello desserts at every holiday! I remember at Easter she would use egg shaped molds and fill them with lime or lemon jello, add shredded carrot or cabbage to it, serve it on individual plates on a leaf of lettuce and top it with a dollop of mayonnaise. And of course there was always the jello salads with walnuts or fruit cocktail. I have a big box full of my mothers very old cookbooks, and I will be looking for more salad recipes! Good memories, thank you! Have a Happy Thanksgiving :) to everyone!

    50’s and we always had jello handy! Thanks for thus recipe!

    Yum-sounds so delicious. I grew up in the 60’s-born in 1955. My mother and
    both my grandmothers made a wonderful lime congealed salad. There was no coconut in this salad-the recipe consisted of lime jello, cream cheese, mayonnaise, pineapple, chopped pecans and miniature marshmallows-sometimes they left out the marshmallows-I always loved it either way!!! Sure wish I had some right now.

    Aunt Helen made one with lime jello and cottage cheese, and pineapple. Not my favorite! Mom made one that we all loved. Strawberry and lemon jello mixed, with strawberries, pineapple, and mixed berries. She put half of the mix in a fancy mold and let it set. Then she spread a layer of sour cream, and poured the rest of the jello on top. Then she turned it out on a fancy platter! Divine!

    Thank you Kevin, for this ‘Happy Hour” of jello salads!! It was fun.Your orange jello dessert popped up on my screen the other day, My son, passing by spotted the thumbnail , and went right out and got a box of orange jello!! Surprised, I asked what is this for? and he replied, its for you to make that orange dessert. Well, i didn’t get a chance to watch until now..My Vita-mix is packed away for lack of counter-space. I plan use my stand mixer to whip it into a mousse. Instead of ice cubes, I will use ice water and chill mixture unti it starts to thicken then whip,. Wish me luck. My son remembers a long ago camping trip with my Dad and step mother and she made an orange jello dessert.for us. This video was so nice, everyone sharing their jello memories.

    Mom made Sunshine Salad. Orange jello, canned crushed pineapple, and grated carrot. It was refreshing and an easy way to get us to eat more fruits and veggies. She also made an excellent cranberry salad for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our whole family loved it so much that my husband began calling it Franberry salad. We still make it, all these years later.

    My mom made one with Bing Cherry Jello. You subbed in 1 glass of red wine for one of the cups of water. You added 1 can of Bing Cherries and 1/2 can of their juice instead of that amount of water. Then, you add 1/2 cup of Slivered Almonds.
    I still make this one at Thanksgiving sometimes. It sort of serves the same purpose as cranberry sauce and I like the cherries and the crunch of the almonds.
    She would also make one with lime jello that had cottage cheese and grated carrot in it.

  • @maryjanepollock3567
    @maryjanepollock3567 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I remember there seemed to be endless ways to make jello salad in those days. I'm sure that we had some style of jello salad at least once a week. It was part of my birthday party menu growing up. My mom made the basic fruit cocktail jello salad, and a cranberry orange cream cheese one for Thanksgiving. The cream cheese was more in chunks, and I think she put chopped walnuts in also. I remember the "Broken Glass" jello salad at Christmas, whipped cream -cream cheesy with chunks of different colored jello. The lime green salad you mentioned earlier in the video sometimes had cabbage and carrots in addition to the coconut. Fun childhood memories.♥️

In a twist, I am now near-vegetarian. LOL Wonderful memories.

    My grandma use to make lime jello with celery slices in it. Its so wierd but something comforting for mr. Memories. Lol my mom sometimes makes jello with fruit cocktail in it or the fruit with the flavor. When she feels creative, she'll make jello and mix cool whip in it and put it in a pie crust. I recently made one with just strawberry jello and condenced milk mixed and put in a pie crust. Was pretty yummy.

And mixed it with my hand mixer and and put it in a store bought pie crust. .. she also makes one with strawberry jello, those tiny orzo rice noodles, a can of frozen strawberrys( save the juice) and a can of fruit cocktail ( save the juice) mix it all with cool whip and add a little of the juices as ya want. It's really yummy. I was surprised because its so light but a nice dessert. Reminds me of a Chinese style rice pudding. Very light.

    Yes, to Jello Queens of the day and again these days! 🏵️💗🍥👑👸🤴 In the 70's my Mom made fruit cocktail jello. I never really cared for it but it was jello food so I liked it somewhat! 🍥💗
    I loved all the magazines at the time featuring jello food ideas. Combining salad ingredients, nuts, fruit, even savory jellos!!! Such a morphing of all things back then! 🍇🏵️🍥💗

    I grew up in the '50's & '60's. The Jello company put out a Jello cookbook. There were many great recipes. There were many questionable recipes as well ( like Barbecue Squares or Under the Sea Salad made with tuna).

    Back in 1971 my foster mom made lime jello in a round jello mold. In the jello was finely chopped celery, finely shredded carrots, chopped nuts, and I don't remember what else, but I do remember it was awesome!!! I'm doing low carb at the moment, so I think sugar free would make a delightful treat.

    Never mind the 60’s I’ve been doing strawberry trifle vanilla pudding on shortcake with reddy whipped topping still 😂
    Thank you for showing your orange jello dessert. I have to try it soon.

    I have lately become quite interested in family food histories and how those get passed on or lost. My family didn't regularly have dessert but I do remember mixing up Jello with my maternal grandmother who lived with us. Then last year, after having over 40 Thanksgivings with my sister’s family, I made my first Thanksgiving dinner (and cooked my first whole turkey) for my small local family because we weren’t having the large family gathering. After planning the menu and such, I asked my son and daughter-in-law what would cause them disappointment if they didn’t see it on the Thanksgiving table. My son immediately mentioned his paternal grandmother’s Orange Jello Salad (dry jello, cottage cheese, Cool Whip, and drained pineapple and Mandarin oranges) because that was at every holiday gathering with his grandparents. Of course, I added everything they mentioned to the menu and didn’t subtract anything. We had a lot of leftovers! Ha!

    My mother used to make two layers of strawberry jello on top of lime jello then a layer of cream cheese mixed with walnuts .Then another two layers of lemon and orange jello . It was very good. For parties she would make a crown of jewels with cubes of different colors of jello mixed with cream and lady fingers all around it.

    I grew up in the 60's also and every baby shower, family get together, had JELLO. Then it went away in the 80's I think and I was so disappointed. It's cheap, it's refreshing. I love JELLO Poke cake with Cool Whip on top. Nice for summer.

    my mom in law (born in 1928) was also called the Jello queen. You could tell the formality of the dinner by what type of Jello "salad" (I think it's funny we call them salads) she made. Plain Jello was whipped and various fruits etc could be added, my kids loved it because it was definitely more of a dessert with the main course than an actual salad. I read that Jello became so popular at a certain time because it meant you had a refrigerator (instead of an ice box) so it was bit of a status symbol to serve Jellos. I loved all of them with the exception of my moms "perfection salad" which was more of a clear aspic with veggies and olives suspended in it, so ghastly~ Don't know how that one became popular, lol. Thanks for sharing your food memories I was a little kid in the 60's too. 😀

  • @LLjean-qz7sb

    We always made black cherry jello or cherry jello with walnuts and bananas. Make the 1 large box jello as per instructions and add walnut pieces and banana slices ( as much or as little as you like, we added 2C walnuts and 3-4 sliced bananas to the jello) and make sure everything is covered with the jello liquid so bananas don't get brown ( it will all float on the top of the jello). Chill and serve with whipped cream! When I got older, I let the jello set about 1/2 way and then stirred in the bananas and walnuts so they were in the whole bowl of jello, not just on the top! (People used to eat off all the fruit and nuts off the top and just plain jello was left!!) Use the mandarin oranges in the little cans, they taste great! I make my Ambrosia with them all the time! God Bless!

    Do you remember the jello brand called " 123"?? Definitely yummy, it formed in layers.

      My mother often made "Ambrosia" for family get-togethers in the 1970s. I did not like it then, but would maybe like it now! I don't remember Jello 1-2-3, but it sounds like a fun product.

    Ha ha, Kevin...my mother too! Jello was a daily event..especially in summer. I liked the gold sheet cake poked with holes and filled with strawberry Jello, spread with the ever present Cool Whip then refrigerated. I also remember Jello was a sponsor of the Jack Benny show "There's always room for Jello!" 😂 Vegan now...no jello...but I may have gotten my fair share in the 60s.

      @@kevinleejacobs1364 Copied from my Mother’s recipe box. There are no times for chilling and I question beating the pudding mix for 8 minutes. Also don’t know if Dream Whip still exists.
      Ice Box Cake
      1 box Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme cake
      1 small box Lime or Strawberry Jello
      1 small box instant vanilla pudding
      1 pkg Dream Whip
      Mix and bake cake in rectangular pan according to package.
      When cool poke holes 1 inch apart all over cake with toothpick or skewer.
      While cake cools, mix jello with ¾ c hot water then an additional ½ c cold water.
      When jello and cake are cool, pour jello evenly over cake and refrigerate.
      Topping
      Chill bowl in freezer for ½ hour. Beat 1 pkg Dream Whip and 1 box vanilla pudding with 1 and ½ cups cold milk for 8 minutes. Spread on cake and put back in fridge to chill.
