Holiday Recipes: Grandmothers Everywhere Make This Easy Jello Salad Recipe

This recipe is very common in the South; they don't let you be a
grandmother if you don't know how to make it. It is funny that many of the simple comfort foods that we all love, especially during the holidays, are not in our cooking repertoire. We can saute, grill, stir-fry, and such, but we are clueless about how to prepare the dishes that we grew up enjoying. Here is a recipe for a basic jello salad recipe that will take you to grandmother's house again!

Ingredients:

Lime or orange JELLO: 3 ounce package
Boiling water: 1 cup
Pineapple liquid and water to make one cup
Crushed pineapple, drained: 8-ounce can
Cottage Cheese: 16 ounce container
Grapes, seedless, halved: one cup
Lemon juice: 1 Tablespoon, if desired

Directions:
1. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water.
2. Add the pineapple/water liquid.
3. Chill until it thickens, but is not totally set.
4. Stir in remaining ingredients.
5. Pour into an 8-inch square pan.
6. Chill overnight or until set.
