Pineapple Lime Gelatin
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + chilling
YIELD: 12 servings.
This recipe was passed down by my mother. We
serve it often, but especially at Christmas and
Thanksgiving. Of course, the green color makes
it nice for St. Patrick’s Day, too. With the
marshmallows, pecans and whipped cream, the
sweet salad can even be served as a light
dessert. I like to cook for both small groups and
large crowds. When our entire family gets
together for thanks and feasting, it’s a
wonderful time!
