GREEN STUFF (LIME JELLO, CREAM CHEESE, PINEAPPLE, COOL WHIP)
This recipe has been in our family forever. It can be made in many different variations. Cottage cheese instead of or in addition to cream cheese. Crushed pears or mandarin oranges in place of pineapple. The amount of ingredients seem to not matter much because I often forget how much jello or cream cheese, etc to use but it always tastes great. The only word of caution is NEVER use fresh pineapple in jello because it will not gel.

GREEN JELLO
This was my favorite part of family holidays when I was younger. My grandmother would always make multiples - one with nuts, one without, and one for me to take home, since she knew how much I loved it.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh fruits, real fruit juice, and unflavored gelatin will yield the best results.
- Bloom the gelatin properly: This means sprinkling it over cold water and letting it sit for a few minutes before heating it. This will prevent it from clumping.
- Don't overcook the gelatin: Once it has dissolved, remove it from the heat immediately.
- Let the jello mold chill completely: This will help it to set properly.
- Unmold the jello mold carefully: Dip the mold in warm water for a few seconds to loosen the jello, then invert it onto a serving plate.
