Lime Gelatin Salad image

This is a great recipe my mom got from my aunt. It is a family tradition for us. It can be made a day or two ahead of time, if you like. It looks just beautiful in a cut crystal bowl. We just 'gobble' it up! If pecans aren't your favorite. substitute walnuts. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (6 ounce) package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Pour 1 cup boiling water over the gelatin mix in a large bowl. Stir it until it is dissolved. Add 1/2 cup pineapple juice. Place it in the refrigerator to partially gel. It is important that the gelatin is only partially gelled.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pineapple in a small saucepan until it boils. Let it cook about 5 minutes. Cool it to room temperature.
  • When the gelatin is partially gelled, blend the softened cream cheese into it until it is creamy. Mix in the cooled, cooked pineapple.
  • Whip the cream until it is fluffy. Fold it into the gelatin-cream cheese mixture. Fold the nuts into the gelatin mixture. Pour it all into a pretty crystal bowl and place it in the refrigerator to completely gel.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have a bunch of fruit in my fridge that's about to go bad, so I just throw it all in this salad and it's delicious.
