Lime Gelatin Salad
This lime jello salad is a great recipe my mom made every year for Thanksgiving making it a family tradition for us — we just gobble it up! It can be made a day or two ahead of time if you like. It looks just beautiful in a glass or crystal bowl.
boiling water
1
cup
lime flavored Jell-O® mix
1
(6 ounce) package
crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved
1
(20 ounce) can
cream cheese, softened
1
(8 ounce) package
heavy cream
2
cups
chopped pecans
1
cup
 Gather the ingredients.
  Combine boiling water and gelatin mix in a large bowl; stir until dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup pineapple juice. Refrigerate until thickened but not set, about 1 hour.
  Meanwhile, place crushed pineapple and remaining juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool to room temperature. Blend softened cream cheese and prepared gelatin until smooth. Mix in cooled pineapple.
  Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  Fold cream into gelatin mixture. Fold in chopped nuts. Pour into a pretty glass bowl, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
