This unlocked a early childhood memory for me, I am 50 now, but when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I visited my Great Grandmother in Nevada, and I vaguely remember her making this except with those soft peppermint sticks. So I am looking forward to trying this.

I grew up in the 60's and my Mom made a lot of jello desserts. My favorite is made with small packets of lemon and lime jello., crushed pineapple drained and cream cheese. Jello is made up with a cup total of water less than both boxes call for. Drain pineapple well and save juice. For topping use cream cheese and add pineapple juice to make smooth consistency. After jello and crushed pineapple is hardened in refrigerator smooth cream cheese mixture over the top and cut out and serve. I was never a favorite of savory jello dishes but the sweet jello dishes I loved then and now..

@@jaynecoin9805 the lemon and lime recipe sounds really good 😊, we had jello as kids but it was always just the jello. Every once in a while my mom would put a fruit cocktail in it, but most of the time it was plain. It's like I've found a whole world of ideas with jello 😂❤️

Looks tastey for sure

@@lablover1972 it was very good for sure. I personally can live with or without Jell-O for the most part, but I bet I've eaten close to half of that pan, it seems to be calling my name from the kitchen 😆❤️
